Step 1
Start by adding the water, steel-cut oats, almonds, chopped pears, coconut cream, cane sugar, coconut flakes, flax seeds, coconut oil, sea salt, and vanilla extract into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 8 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the oats are tender and everything is creamy and well combined. Once it’s done, give it a final stir and serve warm.
Why you’ll love it
This recipe is perfect for busy mornings because you can prepare it the night before and wake up to a warm, comforting breakfast. The slow cooking process makes the oats creamy and tender, while the coconut adds a subtle, tropical flavor that feels indulgent but is still healthy.
How to serve
Top with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for natural sweetness and added nutrition. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can enhance the flavor without overpowering the coconut taste. Toasted nuts or shredded coconut also add a nice crunch.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to loosen the oats if they have thickened. This makes for a quick and satisfying breakfast any day of the week.
