Cover and cook over low heat for 6-8 hours* or until the oats are cooked and the majority of the liquid has been absorbed.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Steel Cut Oats First 🔥
Dry toast the steel cut oats in a skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the crockpot to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent a gummy texture.
Dice Apples Just Before Cooking 🍎
Cut apples into small, uniform chunks immediately before adding to prevent browning, and toss with lemon juice to maintain their bright color and fresh taste.
Use a Liquid Ratio of 3:1 💧
Maintain a 3 parts liquid to 1 part steel cut oats ratio (combining water and almond milk) to achieve creamy results without overcooking or drying out.
Layer Cinnamon Strategically 🤎
Add half the cinnamon at the start for deep flavor development and sprinkle the remainder on individual servings for fresh, aromatic brightness that won't become muted.
Swirl Maple Syrup at the End 🍁
Add maple syrup during the last 10 minutes of cooking or drizzle over finished bowls to preserve its delicate flavor notes and control sweetness to your preference.
