Today, I’m having my tea in my Vegan Earl Grey Slow Cooker Steel-Cut Oats and let me tell you it’s delicious there too.
Vegan Earl Grey Slow Cooker Steel-Cut Oats w/ Rosewater
This is a variation on my original recipe for a small slow cooker. If you can use rooibos tea you can add the bags in to cook overnight. But for green or black tea warm the nondairy milk on the stove, then steep the tea bags for the recommended amount of time (black tea around 4 minutes, or green tea about 3 minutes). Remove the tea bags and uses the infused milk to cook the oatmeal with. **Note: this recipe uses a smaller slow cooker that's 1½ to 2 quarts
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
- 2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk
- 2 teabags red tea Earl Grey, black or green tea will over-steep as it cooks
- 1/2 teaspoon rosewater
- 1 to 2 tablespoon, s sweetener of your choice
Instructions
The night before
- Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later.
- Add everything but rosewater and sweetener. If using rooibos tea you can even add the tea bag If you are using black or green brew it in the nondairy milk firs, like in the headnote.
- Cook on low overnight (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 rosewater and sweetener to taste.

Tracy says
Earl grey oatmeal?! Yes please!
Jenn says
This sounds so cozy and perfect for a chilly morning! I LOVE recipes that work in my Instant Pot!!
Maureen says
I am a huge fan of Earl Grey tea too!! I never travel without my tea bags!
I will try this in crock pot.
Have you used the instant pot for yogurt making yet? if so, how do you like it? Not sure if that is a good feature on the instant pot.
Kathy Hester says
I have made soy yogurt in it and I really like it. I find that I can get a really thick yogurt without a thickener by using a vegan starter and keeping it in the pot for about 12 hours.
Maureen says
Okay. Good to know
Where do you find Earl Grey Red Tea? Wondering if EarthFare or WF has it?? I have never noticed it but wasn’t looking for it either! 🙂 I usually stick with original Earl Grey.
Heather McClees says
I just love slow cooker oats, yum! I have never had them with Earl Grey tea, though. On my to-do list!:) Beautiful photos!
SSusan says
Do you think this would work with hulled oats too, or do they take more time? Great idea with the tea!
Kathy Hester says
It would work, but you would need more time and possibly a little more liquid. If you cook oat groats already, just sub the tea for the normal amount of liquid you cook them in.
Tish says
Great recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
Mel@avirtualvegan.com says
Oh wow! I am such an oatmeal fan and I am loving this combination of earl grey and rosewater. Just beautiful.
You have made me want an instant pot now too. I wish I had more counter space!

{Sigh} oatmeal, bestill my heart. It’s one of my favorite things to have for breakfast on a cold day….and this recipe looks like a perfect one for just that!
Pragati says
Tea and oats!!! I make a lot of savory oats, but I have never tried adding tea. Maybe cocoa but not tea.
Very easy to try. Rose water is another surprise ingredient but I love it.
Ginny McMeans says
I’ll take oatmeal from the slow cooker any day. Thanks!

Interesting! I never heard the expression “sleety day” 😀
This oatmeal is definitely something special, would love to give it a shot, but would need a slow cooker first!

Rochelle Wright says
It is 1:30 PM but I had to,try it. It was delicious. If I make it for 2, do I,double everything including the cooking time?

The cooking time will be the same if you double it.
