Why You'll Want This Again

This recipe creates creamy, comforting oats with a rich coconut flavor. It’s perfect for busy mornings since you can set it up the night before and wake up to a warm, ready breakfast. Using a slow cooker makes the process hands-off and easy.

Quick Kitchen Tips

- Rinse the steel-cut oats before cooking to remove any dust and improve texture.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier, more flavorful result.
- Stir the oats halfway through cooking if possible to prevent sticking.

Directions

Ad the water, steel-cut oats, almonds, chopped pears, coconut cream, cane sugar, coconut flakes, flax seeds, coconut oil, sea salt, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker that's at least 6 quarts. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook gently for about 8 hours. By the end, the oats should be soft and creamy, with all those flavors nicely blended. When it’s done, give it a final stir and serve warm.

What To Serve With This Dish

Top with fresh fruit like berries or sliced banana for natural sweetness. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra flavor. Toasted coconut flakes and chopped nuts make a great crunchy contrast.

How To Keep It Fresh

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the oats and restore creaminess. This dish also freezes well for up to 1 month.

Perfect for chilly mornings. The oats were creamy without being mushy. I’ll try adding some fresh fruit next time.
