Ingredients
- 2.5 cups steel cut oats - not quick cooking or gluten-free steel cut oats
- 4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other nondairy milk
- 3 cups water
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 10-12 scoops collagen or 6 scoops protein powder of choice
- 1 tbsp cinnamon optional
- 2 cups berries
Instructions
- Add oats, almond milk, water, and coconut sugar in the crockpot.
- Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours. Mine needed an extra cup of liquid at the two-hour mark, but this depends on how you like your oats. If you like them runny or chewier it's up to you! Do note though when you add the rest of the ingredients they will become a bit runnier. The oats are done when they are pleasantly plump and chewy.
- Once oats are cooked to your liking add the almond butter and collagen (or protein powder.)
- Divide oats among 8 mason jar containers top with berries. Store for up to a week in the refrigerator!
