Blueberry Pie Slow Cooker Oats is an easy breakfast recipe in your slow cooker or crock pot, made with steel cut oats and fresh blueberries.
I already have two posts this month focused on breakfast – Flourless Chai Latte Banana Bread Muffins and a roundup of 10 Healthy Breakfast Ideas. I’m sharing one more breakfast recipe to finish out January and it’s my favorite flavor combination yet: Blueberry Pie Slow Cooker Oats.
Fresh blueberries are combined with steel cut oats, almond milk, pure maple syrup, almonds, cinnamon and vanilla.
This has got to be the easiest breakfast recipe ever. It’s perfect for busy weekdays or lazy weekend mornings.
I started my slow cooker this morning to make these oats so we have a warm breakfast option the chilly weekend.
I prefer lightly sweetened oatmeal, so I used 1/3 cup of maple syrup for this batch. Feel free to add more maple syrup or brown sugar if you are looking for a sweeter breakfast.
My favorite part of this recipe is how the blueberries melt into the steel cut oats – it reminds me of warm summer blueberry pie. Can it be July already? 🙂
