Put raw oats in a slow cooker with these 3 ingredients. Breakfast will never be the same.

There’s something magical about waking up to the smell of a warm, hearty breakfast that’s already made itself while you were dreaming. This Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Overnight Oatmeal is a lifesaver for those busy mornings when you need something nourishing but don’t have the time to cook. I first stumbled upon this idea during a particularly hectic week at work, and it has been a staple in my kitchen ever since. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to start their day with a wholesome meal without the morning rush.

This oatmeal is a blank canvas for all your favorite toppings. I love adding a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of nuts for some extra protein and crunch. Fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas add a refreshing sweetness, while a drizzle of honey or maple syrup can satisfy your sweet tooth. Pair it with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea, and you’ve got a breakfast that’s both comforting and energizing.
