Out Maple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal is made with 6 simple ingredients for a wholesome, filling breakfast. Crockpot Maple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats I always joke around that, one day, oatmeal is going to make me millions. It’s pretty much the only thing I used to post the first 12 months FFF existed (re: Recipe Index). Why? Because I was obsessed with it and determined to make everyone else fall madly in love with it, too. To this day, I eat oatmeal every single day for breakfast, most likely with a banana and nut butter. It’s like dessert for breakfast and helps me poop. Win-win situation. My obsession with oatmeal is actually what lead me to start Fit Foodie Finds. I can’t believe FFF turned 8 this past November. That’s 3/4’s of a decade. That’s third grade. That’s 8 fingers. Crazy how time flies when you’re having fun. Steel Cut Oats in Crockpot I actually made this crockpot steel cut oatmeal for the first time for Davida when I was in Toronto a few years ago for her birthday. She inspired me to make this recipe because when I arrived at her house, I was greeted with her amazing Peaches and Cream Steel Cut Oatmeal. Oh mah gah. I could eat that stuff every day. Anyways, that’s the inspiration behind our amazingly flavorful maple cinnamon slow cooker steel cut oats.

How to Make Steel Cut Oats in the Crockpot

If you’re wondering how to make crockpot steel cut oats, it’s EASY! Like, really easy.

Step 1: Spray Crockpot

Give your crockpot a nice spray down (or rub down) with nonstick cooking spray! This will prevent any major stickage. You can also use coconut oil or pretty much any kind of oil for this step if you don’t have cooking spray.

Step 2: Add In Ingredients

You read that correctly. Step 2 is simple…add ALL ingredients into your slow cooker and mix. In addition to steel cut oats and almond milk, this recipe calls for vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and maple syrup. It’s what gives this crockpot steel cut oatmeal its delicious flavor.

Step 3: Cook

Turn your slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours OR low and cook for 8 hours. If possible, I highly recommend giving your steel cut oatmeal a stir every once in a while to prevent sticking. If you’re cooking overnight, don’t fret! You should be fine. Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats Crockpot Steel Cut Oats

All I had was vanilla almond milk. I decided to skip the vanilla because of that. Is it going to be awful?!

So excited to try this! But one question for u… Have u tried other options for the almond milk? Both my kids are allergic to peanuts / tree nuts. We can do soy or coconut milk, or regular milk too. Would any of those work? Thanks!!!

Hi Lee! This sounds amazing! I also love oatmeal and have promised to make & bring it to my bible study group in a couple weeks…I need at least 18-20 servings! What would you recommend, tripling your recipe or making separate batches?

Hey Lee, thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really appreciate it! ?? Well I have a 4-5 QT crockpot…5qt being right to the top…so do you think it would hold a triple, or maybe double & a half recipe? If so, how long should I cook it? ?

Sorry if this is a silly question: If i make a batch of this on Sunday, does it reheat well for breakfasts throughout the week?

Holy moly I need this! I made cinnamon roll oatmeal this morning, which is similar, but the added maple syrup is a must!
