you enjoyed!

)
YEP…pretty good values!
What size slow cooker do you use for this recipe?
I used a 6 quart. 4-6 quart will work.
Im so SAD!! tried to make mine and woke to burned breakfast
I guess 8 hrs was too long in my crockpot. Anybody have similar results & did u try again with different results? Like how long did you cook it?
I made this last night, and it's just delicious. Instead of 3 cups of water, though, I used 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and 2 1/2 cups of water (a bit extra to prevent burning). I opted for the stevia for sweetener, and it all cooked on low for 7 hours. It turned out perfect!
Great! Thanks for letting us know.
How much / serving? Am I missing something where this info is?
Katie, 4 servings.
I made this and it burned. I was so disappointed. Has anyone made this on the stove? And if so, did you make any changes and how long did it need to cook?
Can regular oatmeal be used?
Wendy, I wouldn't recommend it.
What and where you get steel cut oats?
Lisa, Just about anywhere, Walmart, Kroger, Smith's, etc.. All major grocery stores carry steel cut oats. I buy Quaker brand in a small dark blue box.
place all the ingredients in a pyrex bowl that fits in your slow cooker. Fill the SC with water around the pyrex to about 1/4 inch from the top of it to make a bay-marie. Put the lid on the cooker and let it go on the WARM setting. (NOT LOW!!!) Slow cookers can get too hot and burn. Best part.. it's already in a serving dish that I can just snap the lid on and throw in the fridge! Works PERFECTLY!
Carri, GREAT! Thanks so much for the feedback.
Hi! Is there a way to do this using an actual pumpkin versus canned pumpkin? We have so many around the house after Halloween…
Liz, Definitely! Just cook your pumpkin and puree yourself. Be sure to use the amount recommended in the recipe and you'll have a delicious bowl of oatmeal.
This is amazing! I made it when my parents came to visit and sent them home with the recipe…this website has been a huge help with me maintaining my weightloss!!!
Yum! Looks delicious and easy! Love the slow cooker:]]
I am so excited for this recipe because I have felt like I am in a breakfast rut and I love pumpkin things this time of year.
What a great idea for all of my Pumpkins!
Looking forward to breakfast!
Every morning I find myself craving jumbo pumpkin/chocolate chip muffins, I make this instead. Sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes without. Does the trick every time.
Did your apple cinnamon overnight oatmeal, trying this one next!
I made this without any sweetener in the slow cooker and just served it drizzled with 1-2 tsp of maple syrup. Delish!!! Going to be a fall staple in our house.
I have made this several time. This time added currents and cranberries in my bowl and put the oatmeal on top. Let it sit for a few minutes and drizzle a little pure maple syrup. Sooo good!
I have made this twice- we love it. I divided the leftovers and stored in the fridge for quick breakfasts or power snacks. I love doctored up oatmeal, and this is one of our favorites!
I'm starting WW this weekend, what's the pts per serving and how many servings does this make?
Margo, This recipe was submitted by a guest and nutritional info was not included. We’re hoping to have data added to these recipes in the near future. Thanks!
I wasn't fond of it. The idea is good but the Pumpkin Pie Spice is not. Depending on your "mix", my oatmeal wound up overloaded with cinnamon, which was too much. I would use the actual spices for pumpkin pie instead.
