Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel cut oats I would not substitute for any other kind of oats as the long sitting time will make them mushy.
  • 2 tablespoon molasses
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • pinch salt
  • 4 cups plant based milk or water I prefer almond-cashew milk

Instructions

  • place slow cooker liner into slow cooker, if using. Otherwise, spray slow cooker with a non-stick spray,
  • add oats, molasses, brown sugar and all spices to slow cooker and stir to combine
    1 cup steel cut oats, 2 tablespoon molasses, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, pinch salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Add liquid and stir well to mix. Some of the spices will float on top and not seem to mix well. This is typical, just try to break up any bigger clumps of cinnamon that may be floating around.
    4 cups plant based milk or water
  • cover and set to WARM for overnight cooking. This can go anywhere from 8-12 hours.
  • Prior to serving, stir to mix cooked ingredients. (see above for serving suggestions!)
  • Enjoy!!
