Ingredients You Need for Purple Monster Oatmeal [Vegan]

  • 1/2 cup steel-cut oats

  • pinch ground allspice

How to Prepare Purple Monster Oatmeal [Vegan]

  1. The night before: Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later. Add everything except sweetener and toppings to the slow cooker.  Cook on low over night (7 to 9 hours).
  2. In the morning: Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should become a more uniform consistency. If there are still chunks of potato smash them with a fork.  Add some water if it’s still a little thick. Taste and sweeten. Top with toppings and make a monster face if you’re in the mood (or just in a mood).
