Slow cooker porridge

We love porridge in our house. The most economical way for us to buy them is by getting rolled oats however these take a while to cook. By doing your porridge in the slow cooker you can make enough to feed everyone in your household for at least a few days depending on the size of your slow cooker.

You will need,

• Rolled oats
• Milk of your choice or water if you prefer 
• Fruit - I used flame raisins and apple
• Optional- flaxseed, seeds, cinnamon, allspice 

I find using double the amount of liquid to oats is the right texture for us once it's cooked. I used 2 and a half cups of oats and 5 cups of almond milk. Place this is your slow cooked and add the fruit. If using fruit such as an apple of pear I would recommend either grating or cutting up finely. Cook on low until everything comes together and serve with honey or maple syrup if needed. 

Many different combinations can be used for this recipe so play around. Claire
