Slow Cooker Apple Pie Oatmeal
This vegan slow cooker oatmeal tastes like apple pie and happiness. And it just happens to be loaded with awesome health benefits!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free STEEL-CUT OATS Do NOT use quick-cooking or rolled oats, they will disintegrate!
- 2 large apples or 3 small, peeled, cored and chopped into roughly ¾-inch pieces
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2½ cups water
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil optional
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds You can also use flaxseeds if you prefer.
- 2 tablespoons good quality maple syrup
- For serving: optional
- Almond Milk
- Chopped pecans
- Raisins
- Ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup or brown sugar
Instructions
- Start by greasing your slow cooker. I rubbed the inside of mine with a couple tablespoons of coconut oil, but you can use cooking spray if you prefer. (Please do not skip this step, people, or you will end up with a literal hot mess on your hands.)
- Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker. Give everything a quick stir, cover, and cook on low for 7 hours.
- Give the oatmeal a good stir, spoon into bowls and serve warm with toppings of your choice.
Notes
Oatmeal can be refrigerated in an airtight container to be eaten throughout the week! Just stir in a little almond milk (or milk of your choice) and re-heat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
