These days I am not in the kitchen much. I get home from work and just want to rest...all the time :) Third trimester pregnancy will do that to a person. I feel so lazy and unproductive, my poor husband is stuck crossing off things on our "to-do" list all by himself. Oy.
Can't wait for this little rascal to arrive in a few weeks! I already bought a mini apron for him/her and hope they quickly become my sous chef in the kitchen.
Most food makes my indigestion and heartburn off the charts - so food groups that are out are: dairy, gluten, anything with tomatoes, most meat, and yeah...pretty much everything. I was getting really sick of my normal bowl of oatmeal in the morning so I thought I would try something different. This was actually really tasty and easy, and I will be making it again! Leftovers are stored in the fridge and reheated with some almond milk.
Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
1 cup steel cut oats
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 (14 oz) can of coconut milk
14 oz almond milk (or any kind of milk you have on hand)
1 1/4 cup water
2 cups cubed apples (I peeled mine, but it is up to you)
3 TBS coconut oil
1 TBS vanilla
1/2 TBS cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray or rub with coconut oil. Stir all ingredients together and set on low 6-8 hours. Serve hot with extra milk or almond milk. I topped mine with hemp seeds for a protein boost.
Do you have to use steel cut oats? Or do you think rolled oats would work just fine? I'm gonna try it with rolled oats (don't have any steel cut)......I'll let you know how it goes!
