Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal 

Ingredients: 

  • cooking spraybutter or coconut oil (for coating the slow cooker) 

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats 

  • 2 ½ cups water 

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk 

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree 

  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon 

  • ¼ teaspoon salt 

  • chopped pecans, maple syrup and almond milk for serving 

Instructions: 

  1. Coat your slow cooker with cooking spray, butter or coconut oil. Add all the ingredients into slow cooker and mix well. 

  1. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. If you have a programmable slow cooker, set it to cook on low for 7 hours and then switch to warm. 

  1. In the morning, give the oats a good stir as the oats will settle to the bottom. Portion into a bowl to serve and top with pecans, maple syrup and almond milk. 

  1. Let the oatmeal cool and place into a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. You can reheat the oatmeal on the stovetop or microwave. Just add a little additional milk to loosen the oatmeal, if needed. 

This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal is a warm, spiced, and comforting breakfast that cooks overnight, so you wake up to cozy fall flavors in a bowl! 

Fun Fact: In the 1600s, early American colonists made the first “pumpkin pies” by filling hollowed-out pumpkins with milk, honey, and spices, then baking them in hot ashes!
