Pour contents into your slow cooker, add water, stir, cover, and set to low. Cook for 7-12 hours.
Slow-cooker instructions, including the recommended number of cups of water, are listed on the back of each packet.
6-quart Instant Pot on the Slow Cooker Low setting for 12 hours with the Instant Pot glass lid.
I start it in the evening just after dinner and usually give it a couple of quick stirs before I go to bed and again in the morning when I get up. I usually add about 1/4 cup of additional water early in the morning because I like mine a bit thinner, but you don’t have to.
(When I first began making Breakfast Cure, I checked several times with a Thermapen and the temp runs about 173 degrees so it is perfect.)
Some toppings we have tried: fresh blueberries, sliced nectarine, a few raisins, some chopped pecans, a sprinkle of coconut palm sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, a handful of blackberries, dried cherries. Most days we eat it plain, but these are the toppings we have used.
I have been enjoying my Breakfast Cure and am now making it for both my husband and me. His doctor had recommended that he eat more whole foods and I want to help with that. We have tried the fruit ones and recently got the whole sampler pack so we can experience all of the flavors. Since we liked them, I recently gave a sampler pack to my daughter-in-law so she can try them too. She has to eat gluten-free and I appreciate that all the Breakfast Cure flavors are available to her.
Large Instant Pot No Special Glass Lid-Community Submission
We only have a large crockpot (dries out too much) and an instant pot.
The instant pot doesn’t lose much moisture even when vented so 3 cups of water are plenty. The slow cook low temp setting overnight didn’t complete the cooking We had to cook additional.
We tried the slow cook normal temp setting last night and it was perfect.
Thanks for adding some healthy flavor to our mornings!

I am spoiled using my fancy Japanese rice cooker with a porridge setting because I use milk instead of water. Using milk adds a creamy taste to porridge that doesn’t happen when cooking with water.

You can also cook Breakfast Cure with a stovetop method. While not an overnight solution, you can use this technique in the evening and reheat it in the morning for breakfast perfection. We have simple detailed instructions in a blog post. Head on over to find out which flavors are best suited to the stovetop method.
