Sue’s Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

• 1/2 cup of steel cut oats
• 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice
• pinch of ground cloves
• agave nectar, for serving
• chopped pecans, for serving

(I doubled this recipe for my 5 quart as the recipe is for a 2 qt)

The night before oil/spray coat with Pam or other non-stick spray the crockery of a 1 1/2 – 2 quart crock pot. Combine the oats, milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice and cloves in the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 – 8 hours.

In the morning stir the oatmeal to get a consistent texture. Serve in bowls topped with agave nectar and pecans.
