Slow Cooker Pumpkin Oatmeal

So with little time in the morning between rolling out of bed and having my gluteus maximus in class I am always looking for quick and easy breakfasts.  This one makes a big batch and I can reheat smaller bowls in the morning.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups water
• 3 cups uncooked pumpkin, preferably from pie or sugar pumpkins
• 3/2 cups uncooked steel cut oats
• 1/2 cups honey
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:

Dice up your pumpkin and watch those fingers!!

Put everything into a slow cooker and stir well

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours; stir well before serving.  I added more cinnamon and cloves when the whole thing was finished so feel free to make any last adjustments.  I would also add WAY more pumpkin next time and might will definitely attempt with apples next time.

You can drizzle some maple syrup over the top too!
