Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy such as almond or oat milk)
  • 2 cups water

Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped pecans
  • Brown sugar or additional maple syrup for sweetness
  • Sliced bananas, nuts, whipped cream, raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In the crockpot, add the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
  2. Cook Overnight: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours. The oatmeal should become creamy and fully cooked through by the end of the cycle. If your crockpot tends to run hot, use the ‘keep warm’ setting to avoid burning the oatmeal overnight.
  3. Serve & Top: Once cooked, give the oatmeal a good stir to combine flavors and improve texture. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add your choice of toppings such as chopped pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, or any other desired additions to personalize your breakfast.

Notes

  • Use a crockpot liner for easier cleanup, as pumpkin oatmeal can stick slightly to the pot.
  • For a creamier texture, substitute some or all of the water with more milk.
  • Mix all ingredients together ahead of time and refrigerate; pour into the crockpot right before cooking for convenience.
  • If using steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats, increase the cooking time to about 8 hours for full tenderness.
  • Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated with a splash of milk for creaminess.
