Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats (not quick oats)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds for extra fiber
  • Optional toppings: additional fresh berries, chopped nuts, sugar-free syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the steel-cut oats, cinnamon, and salt to your slow cooker.
  2. Add Liquids and Berries: Pour in the water and almond milk, then add the berries and vanilla extract.
  3. Cook Overnight: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  4. Stir and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to incorporate any berries that may have risen to the top. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Store cooled oats in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water. For freezing, portion individual servings and freeze for up to 3 months. Steel-cut oats are essential for proper texture - do not substitute with quick or rolled oats.
