Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

For Mom.

Yes, this uses the slow cooker, you silly.

This is for a 1.5 - 2 quart slow cooker.   Serves 2
From: The Vegan Slow cooker by Kathy Hester

It is important to keep your slow cooker 1/2-2/3 full.  You can either double the recipe or use a pyrex pan or measuring cup inside a larger slow cooker, filled with water 2/3 up the side or your pan.

Night before put the following into your oiled slow cooker (or pyrex)
1/2 cup steel cut oats
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
pinch of cloves



Set to low for 6-8 hours

In the morning:
Stir and top with brown sugar and pecans if you wish.

This was so amazingly GOOD!  Hubbers, Loki and I loved it, only Jeanne was un-pleased by it.  This is a new staple in our house.

Mom, I also found these recipes that also sound cool:
Lemon Blueberry muffin oatmeal
Banana pudding oatmeal
Maple pear oatmeal
Carrot Cardamon (can't wait to try this one!)

If your not vegan or don't want to buy special milk for these recipes, you can use cow's milk or water.
