Chuck these ingredients for spiced pumpkin oatmeal into the slowcooker at night and wake up to an aromatic kitchen and comfoting breakfast.
Like most things that come out of the slow cooker, it ain’t going to win any beauty contests but this oatmeal tastes and smells like Christmas (or Thanksgiving.)
If I had to choose my favorite appliance it would hands-down be my crockpot. This is the biggest time saver to have in any family kitchen. My only gripe about it is that I didn’t buy the bigger one.
So, this recipe- totally winged it. And with any experiment, I was not completely confident in how it would turn out. My trusty slow-cooker had my back though, I should not have wasted a moment on worry.
Truth be told when I looked at the oatmeal in the morning after it had been cooking overnight, I was a tad disappointed in its appearance (even though my kitchen smelled amaze) but looks aren't everything folks, right? So if yours has a strange clumpy layer on top- chuck that part out, give the rest a stir and grab a bowl.
My daughter asked for seconds. Need I say more?
