When you have a house full of holiday guests to feed—or simply want an easy holiday-inspired breakfast that cooks itself—turn to this no-fuss recipe of spiced steel-cut oats. They cook to thick, creamy perfection overnight, so all you have to do in the morning is scoop it into bowls to serve it. Oats do love to stick to the slow cooker crock, so make sure to coat it with cooking spray; even if you use a liner, coat the liner with cooking spray.
