I apologize for the lack of photos. I actually made this a couple months ago and only managed to get one. But the finished product looks a lot like the original (minus the chocolate bar for decoration).
I am still kind of new to steel-cut oats. I like the texture, but the jury is still out on whether or not it is good the next day.
I modified the original recipe because I didn't have coconut palm sugar or stevia, so I've listed the version I used below.
My only photo. Everything mixed up and starting to cook.
Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate Steel-Cut Oatmeal
Ingredients
1 c steel-cut oats
4 c water
1/2 c coconut milk
1 T cocoa powder
1 t vanilla
1/4 t salt
1 T brown sugar
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the water, milk, and vanilla. Whisk in the cocoa, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in the oats.
Oil the inside of your slow cooker (or use cooking spray - this prevents the oatmeal from sticking). Pour in the above mixture.
Set your slow cooker to LOW for 1-2 hours, and turn it to WARM before going to bed. In the morning, stir and eat!

Review:
I found it to be bland. Maybe because I changed it a little. I separated it into 4 servings and then refrigerated 3 for future mornings. The next day, I warmed it up as-is and wasn't a fan. I couldn't even finish it. The following morning, I tried pouring cold coconut milk on it after I warmed it up and it was better. Next time, I may try pouring milk on it before I warm it up. After I try to figure out what would make it less bland.
