Hi,
I like Steel Cut Oatmeal but have a hard time spending 35 minutes with it on the stove -- and I often don't get it to come out right.

Last night I cooked it in the crock pot (1 cup of oats and 4 cups of water) and it was perfect when I woke up. I added some salt and some olive oil and it is wonderful.


But next time I think I will try adding a can of PUMPKIN.

Here is a Weight Watcher recipe for
Steel Cut Creamy Pumpkin Oatmeal for the Crock Pot:

2 cups steel cut oats
1 12 oz. Can evaporated milk
1 15 oz. Can pumpkin
5 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla

Put it all in the crock pot. Mix until no chunks of pumpkin left. Cook on low for 8 hours (while you sleep).


I'm going to leave out the sweetener and add dried fruit instead. Also, I will use more water instead of milk. I'll let you know how it comes out.
