Notes

NOT USING STEEL CUT OATS? Cooking times are based on using steel cut oats, so adjust accordingly if using other kinds. Steel cut oats usually take longer to cook.
IMPORTANT to heavily grease the sides of your slow cooker crock before preparing this recipe. We like to use coconut oil or butter for enhanced flavor, but don't skip this step or the oats will stick to the sides and be very difficult to remove.
