Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cup porridge oats
  • 6 cups milk

Instructions

  • Pour the oats and milk into the slow cooker, and stir to combine.
    2 cup porridge oats, 6 cups milk
  • Cover the slow cooker with a lid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Serve the oatmeal warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use any milk that you like. I use semi skimmed milk or oat milk, and they both work great. Soy milk, whole milk or almond milk should also work fine.
  • Don't use quick cook oats, as they will turn very mushy. 
  • Some of the porridge might stick to the sides of your slow cooker. To avoid this, you can rub the inside of the pot with some butter before adding your ingredients. I only have this issue with one of my slow cookers, so it seems to depend on your appliance.
  • Top your porridge with peanut butter, jams, fresh fruit or berries, nuts or seeds, chocolate chips, nutella, raisins, maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, yogurt, berry compote or whatever sounds good!
