Next, mix the flour, pecans, sugar, oats, butter, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl or a resealable bag. Use a fork or your fingers to crumble it all up until it looks like coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the slow cooker. Cover it up and let it cook on low for about 8 hours or even overnight, until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden and crisp.
When it’s done, scoop out a warm serving and enjoy the cozy flavors!
- Use fresh, ripe fruits or vegetables to enhance the natural sweetness and texture.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check the dish halfway through to prevent overcooking.
- Stir gently before serving to evenly distribute the layers and flavors.
This dish combines the warmth of a cozy breakfast with the ease of slow cooking. It’s perfect for busy mornings when you want something hearty without spending too much time in the kitchen. Plus, the flavors meld beautifully for a comforting start to your day.
Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or a side of crispy bacon can add extra texture and flavor. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a complete, satisfying breakfast.
Allow the dish to cool completely before storing. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven, adding a splash of milk or cream if it seems dry.
