Instructions:
Coat the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with butter. Add quinoa, oats, amaranth, and flax seeds to the slow-cooker insert. Pour in milk and water. Whisk together until well blended. Add sugar, butter, vanilla, and spices. Stir to combine, then cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours. Remove lid and scoop one cup into bowls, pour warm cream or milk over the top, add chopped nuts, fresh seasonal berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
