    4 Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats Recipe

    For this 4 day breakfast meal prep recipe, I'm using my Ninja Foodi Cooker! I LOVE this cooker because, it's an electric pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, oven, stove-top, steamer, and dehydrator all in one!

    I use this cooking in appliance often like in my Oyster Mushroom Jackfruit Pot Roast, Stove Top Baked Beans, Instant Pot Potato Salad, and Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower.

    And yes it slow cooks too! But if you don't have a Ninja Foodi, any slow cooker would work.

    How to Make Steel Cut Oats

    *Please read detailed and printable recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.

    1. Add oats to a pot along with water and vegan milk. (Photo 1, 2, & 3)
    2. Place lid on top of your Ninja Foodi. Press the slow cooker button, turn it on low, and set the timer to 8 hours. Allow it to cook overnight until done. (Photo 4, 5 & 6)
