Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats

Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats made with quick steel cut oats, berries, bananas, maple syrup, and nuts are an easy, high-fiber breakfast!

The slow cooker is a great vessel for making oatmeal for brunch, meal prep, or feeding a crowd. I load up the oats with lots of fruit and a little maple syrup to sweeten them and top them with chopped nuts. I tested this recipe with quick- cooking steel cut oats, which I loved in these savory oats. You can also make Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats.
