Slow Cooker Porridge Making Steps
- Add everything to the slow cooker: Put the 1 cups quick cook oats, 2 cups milk (or non-dairy milk), 1 cups hot water, 1 pinch of salt, 3 pieces large fresh medjool dates, pit removed and chopped, and 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon all together into your 1.5L slow cooker.

. Every slow cooker is a little bit different, so keep a small eye on it to make sure the porridge stays creamy and does not dry out or get too thick. If you are using a bigger slow cooker, it will be less full and might cook a little faster, so check it a bit earlier. - Serve with your favourite toppings: Spoon the warm porridge into bowls. Drizzle some honey on top, then add whatever toppings you like — banana slices, fresh berries, a spoonful of coconut yoghurt, or a handful of nuts. You really cannot go wrong here, so have fun with it!
