Introduction

This one tastes like fall in a bowl! If you don’t have maple extract, just use maple syrup as your sweetener to add that maple flavor. The maple really makes you think of the autumn leaves, the pear adds a little tart and a little sweet, and the walnuts add just the right amount of crunch. This one tastes like fall in a bowl!

Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

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

1/2 cup (40g) steel-cut oats

2 cups (500ml) unsweetened 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)

Directions

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 overnight (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.

Serving Size: Makes 2-3 servings

You specify non-dairy milk. Could that be used? I like milk and use it rather than avoid it. - 10/6/14

You can use any kind of milk you'd like! I specify non-dairy in this recipe so vegans can enjoy it, too.

Made this as soon as I saw this recipe. This morning my husband asked, "What do you call this?"
When I told him he said,"Well, you can make it again!"
Next time I will add just a little more liquid and perhaps some craisins which we always have in oats.
Thanks for the recipe! - 10/6/15

Use regular milk. Coconut milk has few nutrients. - 10/6/20

I used fresh coconut milk (grated from one coconut) and it did not turn out well. Will try again... - 10/7/19

I'm gonna try this in my Instant Pot - just set it to turn itself on in a few hours, let it rip (using the oats or porridge cycle, and it automatically goes on a low "keep warm" cycle for like 10-12 hours - enough time to roll out of bed & have a hot breakfast! - 10/6/19

I use water in my oatmeal and don't add the walnuts which brings the calories down significantly. Very tasty and enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. - 10/6/18

This would have to be a tiny crockpot. I made it on the stove, an hour on low, but used real maple syrup. I can't even handle the smell of maple extract let alone the taste. - 10/6/17
