Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 4 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Dried fruits like raisins or cranberries (optional)
• 0 as desired Fresh fruit or toppings of choice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your crock pot with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to avoid sticking.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats, milk, water, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and salt into the crock pot. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

If you’re adding chopped nuts or dried fruits, mix them into the crock pot at this stage.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to 'Low' heat. Cook for 6-8 hours, ideally overnight for a convenient breakfast.

Step 5

After cooking, give the porridge a good stir to ensure a creamy consistency. If the porridge looks too thick, stir in a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Serve the oatmeal warm in bowls and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or any other preferred toppings.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the porridge.
