Instructions
Combine Ingredients
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Add the steel cut oats pumpkin puree water almond milk pumpkin pie spice and maple syrup. Stir everything together thoroughly.
Cook Overnight
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. This is ideal for overnight cooking so breakfast is ready in the morning. Do not use quick-cook oats as they will turn to mush during this long cooking time.
Stir and Check Consistency
When you wake up give the oatmeal a good stir from the bottom to recombine any separated liquid. If it is thicker than you prefer stir in a splash of warm milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve with Toppings
Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with a drizzle of maple syrup a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice and your choice of chopped pecans dried cranberries or a dollop of almond butter for extra protein.
