2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 cups water
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
1- 2 teaspoons cinnamon depending on your taste

3. In the morning, stir oatmeal well

NOTES: This is really difficult to clean up! For easier clean-up and to avoid crusty residue inside your slow cooker, use a liner or place all ingredients in a glass bowl that fits into the slow cooker then add enough water to fill the lower half of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
