Ingredients
1
cup
of rolled oats
4
cups
of water
A pinch of salt
1-2
tablespoons
of sweetener
optional
1
tablespoon
of butter or oil
optional
Instructions
In the slow cooker, combine rolled oats, water, salt, and butter or oil if using.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Before serving, stir the porridge well. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water or milk to get your desired consistency.
Serve in bowls and top with your choice of sweetener and preferred toppings.
Notes
Stir the porridge occasionally while it’s cooking to prevent sticking at the bottom.
If the porridge is too thick, you can add a bit more water or milk to reach your preferred consistency.
Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
Steel-cut oats will make the porridge nuttier and with a chewier texture but may require additional cooking time.
For a vegan version, ensure you use plant-based sweeteners and milks.
