Slow Cooker Maple Pear Walnut Cake Oatmeal

soy-free and gluten-free
2 to 3 servings

**This recipe uses a smaller slow cooker 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

• 1/2 cup (40g) steel-cut oats
• 2 cup (500ml) Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk (you can use any non-dairy milk or even water instead)
• 1 pear, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• sweetener of choice, to taste (I used 1 packet Nu Stevia)

Toppings:

• 1/4 cup (30g) walnuts, chopped
• fresh grated nutmeg
• drizzle of maple syrup (optional)

The night before: Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later. Add all the ingredients except the sweetener and toppings. Cook on low over night (7 to 9 hours).

In the morning: Stir your oatmeal well and add sweetener. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should be a more uniform consistency. Top with walnuts and a sprinkle of fresh grated nutmeg.

   Jeanette,

   I’m not sure sine I’ve never frozen oatmeal myself. But I have heard of others doing it with success.

   Good luck!

   Does oatmeal like this freeze well?

   Oat groats are whole oats and steel cut oats are cut in 2 to 3 pieces. Rolled oats cook much faster than steel cut oats. And quick cooking oats cook quicker than regular rolled oats.

   I only use steel cut in the slow cooker – if you use rolled oats you will have to up the water amount and lower the cooking time. I’d suggest trying some steel cut oats if you can get them.

   Whats the difference between oats? I have old fashioned oats and quick cooking oats, but nothing that says steel cut oats. If I use what I have will it taste different or have different consistency?

   It kinda depends on the sweetener you chose. Some sweeteners change if cooked and others don’t. Chances are it will be fine!

   Whoops, what happens if I add the sweetner to the crock pot and it cooks with the rest of the ingredients?

   Carleen, the Soy Delicious coconut milk is a beverage like soy milk, not thick and full of fat like the coconut milk in a can. Rather than using the canned in this recipe, I recommend using another non-dairy milk such as soy, rice or almond milk.

   This sounds tasty, but I only have regular coconut milk in my pantry. What is the difference between the two?

   I look forward to trying this recipe. I often make oatmeal in my crockpot – but I put all the ingredients ( must use steel cut!) in a bowl that fits inside my crockpot bowl, then add enough water in crock pot bowl to match the level of oats/liquid in that bowl) this steaming method makes it a little creamier and the best part: I only have to clean the oatmeal bowl which is easier than the big crock pot i have one dedicated for it. If its a really big batch I freeze 1 cup portions for later.
