Chef Tips
Light Coconut Milk can be substituted for the regular coconut milk
If you choose to substitute rolled oats for steel oats, be sure to read the important message in the post regarding oat to liquid ratios. Using rolled oats will result in a stickier oatmeal with a much different texture. Also watch the slow cooker as the cooking time may need to be reduced.
