Ingredients
  

  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats I used Bob’s Red Mill brand
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Coat the inside of the crockpot with a good layer of non-stick cooking spray (*don’t omit this step! Mine still stuck a bit with having sprayed a good amount). Add the water, oats, almond milk, brown sugar, salt and vanilla extract/ . Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low, about 7 to 9 hours, until the oats are cooked through and creamy. Serve and enjoy or portion out for the week and enjoy later!

Notes

*I've had the best results with consistency if I make this during the day where I'll be able to stir every once in a while. Because the oats do tend to stick a bit to the sides, being able to monitor and stir will help significantly with this.
