Just note that you’ll need LESS liquid. Coconut milk: If you aren’t a fan of coconut milk, you’re welcome to use almond milk or another non-dairy milk of your choice. Just make sure to use the same amount called for in the recipe. Maple Syrup: Hot out of maple syrup? Brown sugar is a great option to use as a substitute sweetener for these slow cooker steel cut oats. Delicious additions: Don’t be afraid to go wild with your favorite toppings! We’re big fans of peanut butter, fresh fruit, toasted almonds, or a drizzle of honey.
