⏰ Did you know you can make porridge in a slow cooker?

🥣 It’s the perfect cold weather breakfast. Add oats, dried fruit, spices and milk to your slow cooker. Then leave it overnight to slowly cook. You end up with a creamy, cosy breakfast that’s delicious topped with fresh fruit – we went for jammy Spanish figs, which are in season right now – and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Slow Cooker Fig & Almond Porridge
Serves 4

150g jumbo porridge oats
1 ltr almond drink
100g dried figs
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
6 cardamom pods
Fresh figs, pumpkin seeds, walnut halves & maple syrup, to top

Tip the porridge oats into your slow cooker. Pour in the almond drink and add 500ml cold water. Using a pair of scissors, snip in the dried figs. Drop in the cinnamon stick, bay leaves and cardamom pods. Stir to mix everything together.

Pop the lid on the slow cooker and turn it to its lowest setting, just before you go to bed. Depending on your slow cooker, it should take 6-8 hrs to cook, but can be ready in a little as 2-4 hrs (see our tip below on working out the timings). If your slow cooker has a timer, or switch off setting, set that.

When ready to serve, give the porridge a good stir. A skin or crust may have formed around the outside. This can be stirred into the porridge. Pick out the cinnamon sticks, bay and cardamom pods if you spot them.

Spoon the warm, creamy porridge into bowls and top with sliced fresh figs, toasted pumpkin seeds, walnut halves and a drizzle of maple syrup.

How to time your porridge
When you're making porridge in the slow cooker, always use the lowest setting. After 2 hrs the porridge should be ready to eat, but you can continue cooking it for up to 8 hrs. The porridge may develop a crust around the sides and on top. This is pretty tasty and is good stirred into the porridge. To stop the porridge sticking to your slow cooker, you can lightly rub the sides with vegan spread or butter before adding the oats and milk.
