How To Make Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Coat the inside of a 1 1/2- to 2-quart (1.4 to 1.9 L) slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Make sure the coating covers the surface evenly to prevent any sticking.
2. Combine Ingredients: Add 1/2 cup of steel-cut oats, 2 cups of almond milk, 1/2 cup of pumpkin purée, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of allspice, and a pinch of ground cloves to the slow cooker. Stir everything until the mixture is evenly combined.
3. Cook the Oatmeal: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Allow the oats to cook undisturbed until they reach a creamy, tender consistency that is easy to stir.
4. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, give the oatmeal a good stir to ensure the texture is smooth and even. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top each serving with brown sugar and chopped pecans as desired.

Recipe Tips

• For a richer texture, swap almond milk with 2 cups of oat milk or regular milk. This change will give the oatmeal a creamier, more satisfying consistency.
• Add 1/4 cup of raisins or dried cranberries to the slow cooker for a burst of sweetness and chewy texture. This also adds natural sugars that pair well with the pumpkin spices.
• Adjust the spices to your liking by adding 1/2 tsp of nutmeg or 1/2 tsp of ginger. These will add warmth and depth to the overall flavor of the oatmeal.
• For a protein boost, stir in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or 2 tbsp of almond butter after cooking. This enhances the creaminess and makes the breakfast more filling.
• If you prefer more crunch, top each serving with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. This variation adds a great contrast to the creamy oatmeal and extra nutrients.
