I don't know if this should go into Slow cooker or Breakfast :) But the Breakfast section looks pretty empty!
Crockpot Pumpkin Oatmeal
Stir together 1 cup steel cut oats (or 1 1/3 cup for regular old-fashioned oats)
4 cups water
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned is fine!)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Cook overnight (8 - 10 hours for steel cut, 6 for regular) on low.
Serve with a handful of pecans and additional sugar if you'd like. Great source of fiber and Vitamin A! :yum

That sounds wonderful! :yum And what a great way to work in some nice orange veggies for breakfast! I'm printing! Princess LOVES having a nice hot breakfast and I'm so not a morning cooking person. I bet she'd be excited enough to put it in the crockpot herself. :P~

Technically, a serving of regular oats is 1/2 cup. I doubled the recipe and used regular, but it made A LOT. I have a 4-quart crock pot and it was almost full.

sounds great!
just what ARE steel-cut oats, anyway? I hear about them all the time, but have never seen them and don't know what the difference is. :scratch
