This fall-inspired pumpkin oatmeal is a delicious breakfast with just 5 minutes of prep time required using your slow cooker!
Let your slow cooker do the work! This oatmeal seriously smells like pumpkin pie while it’s cooking… so sweet and savory with the perfect amount of spices and brown sugar.
This recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice which you can purchase, but you probably have all the spices you need on-hand to make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.
I’m not a huge breakfast eater, but I have always loved oatmeal. Â Sometimes, I’ll even eat it for lunch or dinner. Â What’s awesome about this recipe is that there’s basically no prep time whatsoever. Â Just throw everything in your slow cooker and stir to combine.
And it’s so good topped with chopped pecans and raisins!

Bessie
how would you adjust the cooking time if you use old fashioned oats instead of steel cut?
Hi Bessie, I have only tested this recipe as it is written so I can’t say with 100% certainty. Please let us know how it turns out if you try it!

Can it be reheated next day?
Hi Carly, Yes but you might need to add a little water when reheating to get the consistency you want. The longer it sits it will absorb more water and become drier the next day.
Hope you enjoy!
