Slow Cooker Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Coconut & Almonds

While traveling recently, I was gifted with this healthy and super tasty breakfast. The coconut and almonds really made this meal and the brown sugar made it sweetly perfect.

I was excited to learn how easy it was to make this and keep in the fridge. Eating well in the morning is not easy. Starting off with coffee, I usually get sweetly distracted until it’s time to go. I rarely have time to eat anything healthy or tasty so I settle on toast. Toast is my favorite go-to but it’s not filling so I end up eating a second breakfast later. Not a good plan.

While visiting family in Tacoma, we had this for breakfast. It’s perfect. I love it and they do too! They keep this in the fridge always, and now I do too! Thank you Jason and Rebecca:)

I often make a big pot of steel cut oatmeal in the winter, but I've never tried it in my slow cooker. Such a good idea!

I have a container of steel cut oats that I haven't made. Your idea of using the slow cooker is perfect. I do like coconut and nuts so that would be one morning breakfast. I may just do another with pure maple syrup and pecans. YUM!! I'm getting all sorts of ideas. Thank you!

Pure maple syrup and pecans sounds amazing! I might have to try that too:)
