steel-cut oats in the slow cooker

This is cobbled together from a couple different recipes. The texture of these is fab, and I love that it saves dishes.

Take 2 pint-sized Mason jars (or whatever will fit into your slow cooker and allow you to still put the lid on). 

In each jar, add 1/2 c steel-cut oats, 1/2 c water, and 1 c milk of your choice (I've been using oat milk). 

Add a bit of mashed banana or a few T of applesauce, or a little extra water. You can also add a little vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, etc.

Stir each one.

Put the wire rack into your IP or crockpot, so the glasses are not sitting directly on the bottom. Put the jars in, and then fill the insert of the IP or crockpot with water until it comes about 1/3 of the way up the sides of the jars.

Set the slow cooker on low for 4 hours, and then the timer for 4 hours. This is probably flexible, but this time combo is working for me -- it lets the oats soak for a while and then cooks low and slow for four hours, and then stays on "keep warm" for an hour or two until we're ready to eat it.

Thank your Past Self for making a hot breakfast for yourself the night before.
