Overnight Steelcut Oats with Almond Butter and Honey

Serves 2-3

2 cups water
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup steel-cut oatmeal
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup almond butter (peanut butter is pretty tasty in oatmeal too, as well as maple syrup!)
2-3 tablespoons flavourful honey
In a 4-cup glass measuring jug, stir together the water, milk, steel-cut oatmeal and salt. Place in a large slow-cooker, add enough cold water to come halfway up the side of the jug (less is fine, because there’s so little evaporation with a slow-cooker), switch on “low” and go to bed.
In the morning, stir in the almond butter and honey. There will be a tablespoon’s worth of grain clumped together at the bottom of the glass jug; it is fully cooked, though, and needs only to be mixed in. Serve. You’ll have a halo of warmth around you for the rest of the morning.
