1. In your slow cooker, combine the raw oats, water, milk, and salt.

Feel free to get creative with this basic oatmeal recipe! You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, stir in some brown sugar or vanilla extract before cooking. For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of protein powder or some chia seeds. You can also swap out the water for more milk or even use coconut milk for a creamier texture. If you have a sweet tooth, try adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries during the last hour of cooking.
