One of the best ways to wake up in the morning on a fall day is to the wonderful smell of Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal! This easy crockpot pumpkin pie oatmeal is filled with delicious fall flavors and packed with protein from the steel cut oats. Once it’s time for fall I want to have as much pumpkin as possible and this recipe let’s me eat it for breakfast!
Crockpot Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
The best part about this pumpkin pie oatmeal is that you can make it the night before and it is beyond easy. You take all the ingredients and pour them in and stir. That’s it…Really!! Then let the crockpot do it’s magic and in the morning a tasty breakfast is ready to serve. Not only can you make it the night before but pumpkin pie oatmeal is so easy to make you will find yourself making it all the time.
Another great perk to this oatmeal is that people can eat it at different times. If your house is like mine everyone doesn’t wake up at the same time so I end up making 4 different breakfasts as people get up. With pumpkin pie oatmeal I just turn it on warm when I wake up and everyone serves themselves. I always make this when guests stay over too since that way they can eat whenever they want too!

Why Steel Cut Oats?
If you have never had steel cut oats before they are whole oats that have been chopped into two or three pieces with steel blades where rolled oats are chopped finer. Steel-cut oats are the least processed form available. Steel Cut Oats are digested slower than rolled oats and have more protein. This is important because they will keep you fuller longer! If you want more details about the glycemic index and how this works for your diet here’s a great article!
The steel cut oats I use in the pumpkin pie oatmeal are also gluten free since we are gluten free in my house. My favorite brand is always Bob’s Red Mill and I just buy them online because I use them all the time! Here’s the link! If you aren’t gluten free you can use any kind of steel cut oats. Ok, now you’re a pro on steel cut oats..let’s get cooking!

Food Allergies
Gluten Free – I make everything gluten free in our house because my husband has celiac disease, which is when you are allergic to gluten. Oatmeal is actually gluten free but there can be cross contamination when it is farmed or processed in a facility with other grains that are not gluten free. That is why I always use gluten free oats like Bob’s Red Mill.
If you are not gluten free swap the gluten free steel cut oats for any steel cut oats.
Need A New Crock Pot?
My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!
