Welcome to day 4 of love your oatmeal week! Today’s oatmeal reminds me of my favorite quick bread. Since this is cold and flu season you may find yourself with a tummy ache at some point. Ginger is a great way to soothe your tummy. Plus it tastes good too!
Slow Cooker Gingerbread Oatmeal
2 to 3 servings
**This recipe uses a smaller slow cooker that’s 1 1/2 to 2 quarts
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1 – 2 tablespoons sweetener
(I used agave) - For serving: raisins (optional)
The night before: Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later. Add everything except agave and raisins. Cook on low over night (7 to 9 hours).
In the morning: Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should become a more uniform consistency. Stir in agave or other sweetener. Top each serving with a few raisins if you like.

Thank you so much for your kind words and post. Perhaps I’ll have a So Delicious creamy soup week sometime soon too.
I guess I better bring out the big oatmeal guns for the rest of the week! ; )
I am not a HUGE fan of the coconut milk brand you recommend and I was wondering if you could use canned coconut milk instead?
You can, but it will be much heavier and have lots more calories. Just use your favorite kind of nondairy milk or even water.
