Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
