Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 3-1/2 cups water (almond or regular milk can be substituted)
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling with added sugar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon,
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• optional: 1/2 cup honey or 2 teaspoons vanilla liquid stevia*
• * Sweetener can be added during cooking or cook it without and each person can add their own sweetener of choice on top after cooking.

Directions:

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker or instant pot with cooking spray.
2. Combine all ingredients in your slow cooker or instant pot and cook on low for 8 hours. Enjoy!
3. Tip:  I have better luck with my Instant Pot rather than my  Slow Cooker  if I am cooking this overnight.  I turn my Instant Pot on “Slow Cooker” mode and manually put in 8 hours.  After 8 hours on low the Instant Pot will shut off or keep warm.  My slow cooker can over heat itself after 8 hours if left overnight I don’t notice the “burn” happening.
