Easy Overnight Crockpot Oatmeal

Jump to Recipe
Easy Overnight Crockpot Oatmeal

This is the perfect breakfast for the upcoming winter months: this oatmeal is warm and inviting, the flavors are easy to adjust and it produces an amazing aroma to wake up to. To prepare this, I combine a 1:3 ratio of whole rolled oats to water in a crockpot, add some Earth Balance and salt, whatever spices I have on hand and then go to bed. The oatmeal develops a hearty and silky texture overnight in the crockpot without any additional effort or prep. This method also works well with steel cut oats.

    I'm not vegan, nor am I even vegetarian, but I work at a health food store, with a lot of people who are. I can recognize good vegan recipes, and these are all fantastic!
