Step 1: In greased slow cooker stoneware, combine soy milk, water, oats, cherries, 1/2 cup of the maple syrup, salt and allspice.

Step 2: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or overnight.

Step 3: Turn off slow cooker and stir in remaining maple syrup. Add additional water, if necessary, to achieve desired thickness. If desired, serve garnished with blueberries and pecans.

Ingredients

4 cups vanilla-flavoured soy milk*
4 cups water
1-3/4 cups steel-cut or large-flake (old-fashioned) rolled oats**
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries
2/3 cup pure maple syrup, divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed if frozen (optional)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

* Soy milk stands up well to slow cooking, since it has been processed in such a way that it can withstand the high temperatures. Skim and 2% milk tend to break down and curdle during long cooking.

** If you find the oats a bit thick after cooking, just thin the mixture with a little extra soy milk or water.
