Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal is a comforting, creamy breakfast made by simmering steel-cut oats with pumpkin puree, almond milk, and warming spices. The long, slow cooking softens the oats thoroughly while infusing them with pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. It’s an easy set-it-and-forget-it recipe preparing a hearty oatmeal to enjoy warm or refrigerated for later.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray butter or coconut oil (for coating the slow cooker)
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk unsweetened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • pecans maple syrup and almond milk for serving, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Coat your slow cooker with cooking spray, butter or coconut oil. Add all the ingredients into slow cooker and mix well.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Notes

  • Use only steel-cut oats for the best texture; rolled or quick oats are not suitable for this slow cooker method.
  • Reheat leftovers by adding extra milk to loosen the oatmeal, using either stovetop or microwave warming methods.
  • Coating the slow cooker with butter or coconut oil helps prevent sticking during cooking.
