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 to 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, or until the oats are soft and creamy. Once it’s done, give it a final stir and serve warm. If you like, add a little extra coconut cream or some fresh fruit on top before digging in.
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Top with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for sweetness and color. A sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds adds a nice crunch. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
Food Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture if needed.
