Directions
Tos the water, steel-cut oats, almond milk, half-and-half, brown sugar, raisins, and a cinnamon stick into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Set the slow cooker on low and let it work its magic for about 8 hours, or until the oats are nice and tender. Once it’s done, give it a little stir to blend everything before serving. Enjoy a warm, creamy bowl to start your day!
Serving Guide
Top with fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas for natural sweetness. Add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for crunch and extra nutrition. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can enhance the flavor without overpowering the creaminess.
How To Keep It Fresh
Let the oats cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture if needed.
