This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal is a cozy, nutrient-packed breakfast that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin pie spices with hearty steel-cut oats. Perfect for busy mornings, it’s slow-cooked overnight to create a creamy, comforting dish easily topped with pecans, maple syrup, and almond milk for added texture and sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Cooking and Serving

  • Cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil (for coating the slow cooker)
  • Chopped pecans (for topping)
  • Additional maple syrup (for serving)
  • Additional almond milk (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Coat your slow cooker with cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil to prevent the oatmeal from sticking.
  2. Add ingredients: Pour the steel-cut oats, water, almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt into the slow cooker. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Slow cook: Set your slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture for 6 to 8 hours. If your slow cooker is programmable, set it for 7 hours on low then switch to the warm setting to keep it ready to eat.
  4. Stir the oatmeal: In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir as the oats tend to settle at the bottom during cooking.
  5. Serve: Portion the oatmeal into bowls and top with chopped pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a splash of almond milk to taste.
  6. Store leftovers: Allow any leftover oatmeal to cool, then transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to one week.
  7. Reheat: To reheat, warm the oatmeal on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little extra almond milk to loosen up the texture as needed.

Notes

  • Steel-cut oats provide a chewier texture and retain shape better than rolled oats during slow cooking.
  • Pumpkin pie spice typically contains cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger; adjust amounts based on preference.
  • Using unsweetened almond milk keeps this recipe low in calories and dairy-free.
  • For a sweeter oatmeal, add more maple syrup or a natural sweetener of your choice.
  • Slow cooking overnight makes this recipe ideal for busy mornings with minimal prep.
  • Leftovers can be frozen in individual portions for up to 3 months.
  • For added protein, top servings with Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder mixed in after cooking.
