Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into ½ “ pieces
  • 1 ½ cups coconut or rice milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 cup uncooked gluten-free steel-cut oats
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon dairy-free butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Coat inside of 3.5 to 4 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. If your slow cooker is larger, use a 5 cup or larger glass baking dish or measuring cup placed inside your slow cooker, surrounded by room temperature water nearly to the top of your glass container.
  • Add all ingredients into slow cooker or glass container. Mix well, cover slow cooker, and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Spoon oatmeal into serving bowls. Stir in additional dairy-free milk or add sliced apples as a topping, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for later that week or in the freezer for the future.
  • To reheat single servings: Put 1 cup of cooked oatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add ⅓ cup dairy-free milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Cook for another minute, or until desired temperature.

Notes

Too switch up the flavors, add a bit of cardamom and throw a handful of blueberries in the warm oats.
