Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • cooking spray (butter 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
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • chopped pecans (maple syrup and almond milk for serving)

Instruction

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