Overnight Pumpkin Crock Pot Oatmeal

I love overnight crock pot oatmeal. It’s a super easy way to have a hot breakfast in the morning.

Now that fall is almost here, I decided to try a pumpkin version. It turned out great so I’m going to share it with you today!

Let me introduce you to Overnight Pumpkin Crock Pot Oatmeal.

Overnight Crock Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1 cup steel cut oats (you must use steel cut oats because they’re the only kind that will work)
2 cups apple juice
2 and 1/2 cups milk
2 15 oz cans pumpkin
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup water
pinch of salt

Directions:

Step 1: Coat your crock pot with some non stick spray or butter.

Step 2: Place all the above ingredients in a bowl and stir together. Then pour mixture in the crock pot.

Step 3: Cook on low for 8-9 hours. {Yes it takes that long to cook but it’s totally worth it!}

If you happen to be up in the night, give the ingredients a quick little stir. In the morning some of the edges of the oatmeal that have been against the pot all night get a little crispy. I like the added “texture” but if you don’t like it you can remove it.

Quick tip: Pour a little french vanilla coffee creamer on top of your oatmeal. This adds a creamy flavor with a touch of sweetness & it’s simply divine!

The leftovers stay well in the fridge but it will be pretty thick. When I reheat this oatmeal, I usually “water” it down with a little milk to thin it out.
