Milk Breakfast Slow Cooker Maple Bacon Oatmeal Bowls

Steel cut oats are not as soft as other oat varieties; however, like many large grains, they benefit from a long cooking process. We recommend getting your oatmeal ready the night before so you can wake up to a delicious, hot bowl on a crisp fall morning. Make the topping mixture ahead too so it is ready to spoon on or stir into the slow cooker to also warm through. Be sure to top your bowl with any of your favourite toppings or a big spoonful of Ontario yogurt if you prefer.

COOK’S TIP

If the oatmeal seems too runny after cooking in slow cooker on Low, simply turn it to High and remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes or until thickened. Add a little extra sprinkle of cinnamon to your oatmeal before adding your toppings.
