Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats

Place a few healthy ingredients in your crock-pot before bed and have breakfast ready to go in the morning! This recipe is gluten-free and healthy!

A one pot meal is made in a single pot; this can be on the stove, in the oven, in a crock-pot, a rice cooker..you name it. To kick off this series, I’ve made a DELICIOUS over night, slow-cooker steel cut oats recipe made with full-fat coconut milk.

To. Die. For.

I can’t tell you how creamy this oatmeal turned out. It beats microwaving it any day!

What I love about this recipe is that you pretty much throw all of the ingredients in a pot, flip the switch, go to bed, and in the morning everything is ready to go!

If you’ve made steel cut oats before, you know that they take almost an hour to cook on the stove. So- this method trumps all 🙂

All you need to do is throw some toppings on and you’ve got a beautiful breakfast.

Secret: its even delicious cold 🙂
