Step 1

Start by spraying the inside of your slow cooker with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Then, pour in the almond milk and add the oats, chopped apples, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for about 7 to 8 hours—overnight works perfectly. When you wake up, you’ll have a warm, ready-to-eat breakfast waiting for you! Give it a quick stir before serving, and enjoy.

How to serve

Enjoy this with fresh fruit like berries or sliced banana for natural sweetness. A drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts adds great flavor and crunch. It also pairs nicely with a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.

Storage & leftovers

Keep the oatmeal covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before eating to refresh the texture. If it thickens too much, add a little milk or water to loosen it up.
