Slow Cooker Banana Bread Steel Cut Oats

• 1 1/2 cups steel cut oats, gluten free if needed (do not substitute quick cooking, instant, or rolled oats)
• 4 cups water
• 2 cups cashew milk, any kind you like
• 2 large mashed ripe bananas, plus additional banana slices for serving
• 3 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• optional chopped walnuts, raisins, cacao nibs, pure maple syrup, nut butter

1. Place all of the ingredients except the toppings in the bottom of a 4-to-6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine: Steel cut oats, water, milk, mashed bananas, flaxseed meal, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours (overnight) or on high for 4 hours, until the oats are soft but maintain a bit of chew. Remove cover and stir to evenly combine the ingredients. Enjoy warm with desired toppings.
