Method
1. Spray your crock pot with nonstick spray. Add in the rolled oats, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook on low for 6-7 hours**, until the oats are creamy and the milk is mostly absorbed.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Sprinkle the cut side with cinnamon. Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes before removing from heat.
3. To assemble, place the peaches cut side up on a plate. Spoon the cooked oats into the hollow part of the peaches. Garnish with almonds if desired.

Notes
*You may substitute any milk you’d prefer in this recipe. The almond milk tastes slightly sweeter than regular milk and adds a subtle nutty flavor to the cooked oats. If you’d like to substitute another milk but would still like the nutty flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract.
**Every slow cooker is different. Until you know how long this recipe takes in your slow cooker, it is best to make when you can check on it and can adjust your cook time as needed.
