Crock-Pot Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
The weather is starting to get colder and the leaves are starting to turn their colors. We are upon the season of bonfires and holiday get-togethers.
Every fall I gather a few pumpkins for pie making and spend a day roasting the pumpkin and pureeing the pumpkin and then freezing the pumpkin in bags. My kids love pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread and well anything that has pumpkin in it!
A friend gave me this recipe for making Crock-Pot Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal. She assured me that it was delicious and I would make it more than once.
Simple recipe. Add all the ingredients to a crock-pot and then all the steel cut oats to cook. Even though the title says “oatmeal” , you need to use steel cut oats. Regular oatmeal will burn or just turn into a big pile of mush.
You need to use a crock-pot that has a WARM setting because this recipes needs to cook slowly overnight on WARM for 7 to 8 hours. Top with nuts or a little cinnamon if you like for a breakfast that will knock your pumkpin spice loving pants off!

This warm and satisfying oatmeal recipe cooks on the WARM setting overnight so that you can wake up to the heavenly smell of pumpkin pie spice first thing in the morning. Serve your oatmeal with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts or pecans if you want.

How could the crock-pot that is indicated as the one used to make this recipe actually be the one…it does NOT have a warm setting which is what the recipe stresses is necessary.
Thanks for catching that Sandra. I we accidentally got the wrong slow cooker picked on Amazon but thanks to your comment have fixed the post to link to the correct slow cooker used that has a warm setting.
I just came across your site yesterday and just needed to say…I have immensely enjoyed looking it over! Nice job.
I’m what you call a semi-gourmet home cook (grandma was a retired chef, grandpa a immigrant from Italy who opened his own restaurant that’s still open today) . BUT, that doesn’t mean I don’t like easy or some crockin cookin! Lol
I’m trying your pumpkin coffee cake today my kids love pumpkin anything. Then…on to the pumpkin oatmeal, DD already spied with her little 16 yr. eye that one!
One question about the oatmeal…can I use oats other then steel cut? If so, would the measurements or time change for this recipe?
Thanks in advance for any help! I will be a frequent visitor, I’m sure lol

Ugh…never mind on that oats question 🙄 Guess I should have read your recipe a little more slowly, but was excited to make it for DD! I’m a dork, I know! Steel cut oats it is! Haha
Thanks again for some wonderful recipes. Spring, summer, early fall is golf season for us and I’m sure to be grateful to rely on your site for still amazing dinners at the end of the day!

Thanks for stopping by Tracy. The pumpkin pie oatmeal definitely requires steel cut oats. Regular oats (even the old fashioned kind can get rather gummy and mushy in the slow cooker). Steel cut oats on the other hand are made for long cooking time like you would find in the slow cooker.
I hope you will come on back and comment and rate any recipe you find here and try. Reader feedback on recipes really helps us ladies out in knowing what folks are enjoying and what is working (or not) for them.
I’m breastfeeding and eating oatmeal as much as possible, it does help and I can tell if I skip a few days lol. I’ve been making steel cut oats in my crockpot, on low, same ingredient to water ratio as this recipe. It’s great to find this so I can add variety & fall flavor to my routine!
Hope you enjoy the fall flavor to your steel cut oats with this recipe Torry!
Hello! I was looking for a simple pumpkin oatmeal recipe and this seems to be perfect! Thank you!
The one issue I see is that it claims to be 10 ww smartpoints. I am on WW and plugged in the recipe exactly as above and it only states it is 2 smart points. Its a large discrepancy so I was wondering why…? I currently make an apple cinnamon oatmeal that is usually 4 smart points but includes fat free half & half so that accounts for the points.
Hi Katie. We use a different calculator that is not always 100% correct. We have been told that it is close most of the time. The calculator we use is located here (http://www.calculator.net/weight-watchers-points-calculator.html) and we calculate our recipes using the nutritional information calculated by our recipe software. If you have access to the Weight Watchers app or program directly that is probably more accurate. We are not a diet or nutrition blog and we try to provide the information to help guide our readers to recipes that hopefully will work for them.
