Instructions
 

  • Place heatproof bowl in your slow cooker. Stir together milk, mashed banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, salt and oats in heatproof bowl. Fill the slow cooker with enough water so it is about one inch from the top of the bowl. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
  • When ready to serve, carefully remove hot bowl from slow cooker. Gently stir oatmeal until it is thoroughly combined. Serve with nuts, banana slices and extra brown sugar, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen in individual portions. Gently reheat with enough milk for desired consistency.
