Slow cooker porridge is the zero-effort breakfast you need in your life

Dreaming of waking up to a hot, healthy breakfast in the morning?

If you are using your slow cooker for the sole purpose of preparing dinner – boy; are you missing out.

As it turns out, this kitchen hero can do so much more (ever heard of slow cooker cocktails, by the way..).

Dreaming of waking up to a hot, healthy breakfast in the morning? Well, now you can.

Because just with the same amount of ease and low effort, the slow cooker can work through the night to deliver a warm breakfast, ready for when you wake up.

Pinterest in filled to the brim with delicious versions for you to try for yourself, but to start you off, we think these three all sounds pretty darn amazing:

1. Slow-Cooker Baked Oatmeal With Banana and Nuts

Chock full of whole grains and healthy fats, this seriously yummy porridge recipe is going to be our go-to these chilly winter mornings, we think.

This literally feels like eating apple pie for breakfast, the oats are that yummy and creamy. Only difference? This is actually a totally healthy recipe – and if you make enough, you have a go-to breakfast to last you all week long – just re-heat with a splash of milk in the morning.

3. Simple Slow-Cooker Porridge
