  1. Place the steel-cut oats, coconut milk, chopped pear, cardamom and cinnamon in a slow cooker and stir to combine.

  2. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.

  3. Stir in the vanilla extract, rose water and almond extract.

  4. Add the sweetener of your choice, a little at a time, tasting as you go until it suits you.

  5. Leave uncovered for 10 minutes so the oatmeal thickens, then stir well and serve warm.
