Method
- 01Add the oats, chopped apple, all the spices and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir to distribute the spices evenly through the oats.
- 02Close the lid and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours — this is perfect to set up before bed. You will wake up to a warm breakfast waiting for you.
- 03In the morning, give the oats a good stir — they may have dried slightly at the edges. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen. Serve with walnuts and maple syrup.
Why this works
Steel-cut oats are rich in beta-glucan, a fibre studied for supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Apple pectin feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Cinnamon has been studied for its role in supporting insulin sensitivity.
