This is a variation of a recipe I found on WW. Its really delicious! You may have to play around with the amount of oats you add depending on your crockpot. This is what works with mine, it might not be perfect for yours. If you love cinnamon, you will love waking up to this! By the way, it's great hot or cold.

6 cups water
3 cups canned pumpkin (or 3 cups ANY fruit, chopped or whole depending on what it is)
2 cups steel cut oats
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar (or honey if you prefer, nutrition info will be diff if you use honey)
1-2 tsp ground cinnamon, to taste
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (I only use if I'm making pumpkin or apple)

Place everything in crockpot, stir well.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, stir well before serving.

Nutrition info is based on canned pumpkin.

Makes approx. 8, 1 1/4 cup servings

Calories 213, Carbs 43, Fiber 8, Protein 7, Fat 3

Really yummy if you use pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice in place of cinnamon and nutmeg

    Yum! I just started eating steel cut oats, so far I've been using only frozen fruit to sweeten it. I love pumpkin so I am definitely going to try this!

    If substituting honey for the brown sugar, do you use the same amounts? It would seem that honey would be a bit sweeter than brown sugar.

    Made it a few days ago and have been eating it every day since. I cooked it on high ofr about 3 hours and divided it up to heat up in the morning. I also added frozen berries to each bowl. YUMMY! Thanks!

    It's also pretty good eaten cold! Kind of tastes like a pudding!

    I put dried cranberries in my steel cut oatmeal--when I slow cook it, then I add some frozen berries before I eat it. I bet the cranberries would be awesome with the pumpkin.

    That sounds really good! I have made it before with berries..and they just burst when they are cooked...soooo delicious!
