Slow Cooker Apple Pie Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel cut oats Be sure to use STEEL CUT OATS. These are heartier and take longer to cook so they are great for slow cooking.
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk I like full-fat organic coconut milk from a can, OR SoDelicious vanilla, from the carton
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 2 fresh crisp apples cored, peeled, diced
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 star anise
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Spray your slow cooker bowl with coconut oil thoroughly. Very important because this oatmeal will stick...bad...if not coated.
  • Add all ingredients, besides toppings to your slow cooker – oats, coconut milk, water, apples, honey, coconut oil, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
  • Cook on LOW for 5-7 hours. Some crockpots take longer and some are pretty fast. Mine was done perfectly at 5 hours, so I allow the crockpot to automatically turn off, and cool for quite awhile before breakfast begins.
  • Try a test run during the day to see how long your slow cooker takes. If you double the recipe, as I often do...cook time will increase a bit. If desired, add toppings of your choice.
