Slow cookers are usually reserved for dinners. My slow cooker’s typical day looks something like this: fill up with yums in the morning, hangout for the whole day cooking up whatever yums are inside, delightfully surprise us when we arrive home in the evening to a warm cooked meal.

(Plus a day full of nerves on the tulip-man’s part, who still doesn’t trust the slow cooker not to burn down our whole house) (he’ll learn).

But who says slow cooker recipes can only be dinners? Today we’re setting our slow cookers to cook overnight to create the most warming, delicious breakfast!

This isn’t just any breakfast. This is quinoa for breakfast. You heard it here first, folks! We’re subbing our usual oats for quinoa, a protein-rich, high-fiber super “grain”.

Throw in some strawberries, banana, milk, and almond butter and we’re on our way to a strawberries-and-cream-esque breakfast that’s about to fill your house with the tasty aroma of Saturday morning. Quinoa oatmeal, let’s do it.

    I love this idea! But mine burned in the crockpot pretty badly šŸ™ unfortunately I left it a little longer than 8 hours…okay maybe a lot longer, so that’s probably what did it. Lol. But I am so traumatized by the burn smell haha that I think when I make it again I will leave it for only 4 hours. Or at least check on it often instead of leaving it overnight while I am asleep (I’m new to crockpot cooking hee hee)

      You could also try the crockpot liners! Things seem to burn less badly with those if you forget something in there, and cleanup is so easy šŸ˜€

      You could use another sweetener, like maple syrup, brown sugar, or agave nectar!
