Notes
Be sure to use regular steel-cut oats, NOT quick-cooking, rolled or instant oats.
I used whole dairy milk, however, you can also almond milk.
Cooking times & temperatures of slow-cookers vary greatly. This recipe cooks fully in 4 hours in my slow cooker. I highly recommend testing this recipe in your own slow cooker during the day when you can keep an eye on it. Note the cook time for your own slow cooker. Once you have a test run with your slow cooker, feel free to make these oats overnight (setting the timer for the appropriate start time) for breakfast that's ready to go in the morning.
