Slow Cooker Cardamom Pear Oatmeal

Published on March 31, 2019 by Stephanie Kay

Struggle to find time for breakfast in the morning? I’ve got you covered! Not only is this slow cooker cardamom pear oatmeal incredibly easy to prepare, but it’s a great meal prep idea that will help ensure you have grab-and-go breakfasts ready every morning of the week.

Slow Cooker Cardamom Pear Oatmeal

Slow cooker oatmeal is a great breakfast idea for busy people; simply add everything to the slow cooker, head off to bed, and wake up to a healthy meal in the morning. In addition to being easy to make, extra portions store very well in the fridge in individual containers for days to come, so using it as a meal prep idea can save you a lot of time and money.

This cardamom pear oatmeal recipe is inspired by one of my absolute favorite baked goods; cardamom buns. Fragrant, sweet, and lightly spiced, cardamon is a versatile ingredient that works well in savory and sweet dishes alike. So, if you love the taste of cinnamon, I highly suggest that you give this recipe a try! Serve it on its own, or with a drizzle of maple syrup and chopped pecans, and I promise you’ll have a warm and full belly to start your morning every day of the week.

Slow Cooker Cardamom Pear Oatmeal

This slow cooker cardamom pear oatmeal calls for steel-cut oats as I think they provide the best texture, however, you could use old-fashioned rolled oats if you prefer.

      Really good, I tripled the recipe in order to have enough for the whole week for my partner and I. I made it in the Instapot with the slow cooker function and it worked well.
