Slow- Cooker Spiced Vanilla-Pear Oatmeal

By Caryl

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats, dry
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup skim or low fat milk (or you can use almond, soy or coconut milk)
• 1 large (or two small) pears, sliced or chopped with skins
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbs brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients into the crock pot and let simmer on lowest setting for about 5-6 hours (definitely no more than 6 from my experience).

Sweeten with more brown sugar or add a tad more milk if needed when serving. It should be very thick and flavorful!
