Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup gluten-free STEEL-CUT OATS (Do NOT use quick-cooking or rolled oats, they will disintegrate!)
  • 2 large apples (or 3 small, peeled, cored and chopped into roughly ¾-inch pieces)
  • 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2½ cups water
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (You can also use flaxseeds if you prefer.)
  • 2 tablespoons good quality maple syrup
  • For serving: (optional)
  • Almond Milk
  • Chopped pecans
  • Raisins
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Maple syrup or brown sugar

Instruction

  • Start by greasing your slow cooker. I rubbed the inside of mine with a couple tablespoons of coconut oil, but you can use cooking spray if you prefer. (Please do not skip this step, people, or you will end up with a literal hot mess on your hands.)
  • Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker. Give everything a quick stir, cover, and cook on low for 7 hours.
  • Give the oatmeal a good stir, spoon into bowls and serve warm with toppings of your choice.
