Directions
Ad the water, steel-cut oats, almonds, pears, coconut cream, cane sugar, coconut flakes, flax seeds, coconut oil, sea salt, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker that’s at least 6 quarts. Give everything a good stir so it’s well mixed. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook gently for about 8 hours, or until the oats are soft and everything is nicely combined. When it’s done, give it a final stir and it’s ready to enjoy!
How To Enjoy This Dish
Top with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries for natural sweetness. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup adds extra flavor without overpowering the coconut. You can also sprinkle toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for crunch.
How To Save Leftovers
Allow the oats to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess before serving.
