For a richer flavor, substitute full-fat half-and-half or whole milk for the fat-free version. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add an extra tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the oat mixture before cooking. Feel free to experiment with other toppings! Toasted pecans, chopped apples, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt would all be delicious additions. To prevent sticking, you can also line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner before adding the oatmeal. Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. This prevents the oatmeal from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the steel-cut oats, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. Add the pumpkin puree and mix until well combined. Gradually incorporate the water and half-and-half, stirring to prevent lumps. Finally, fold in the raisins and vanilla extract. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepCarefully pour the oat mixture into the prepared slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low setting for 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours, or until the oats are soft and the oatmeal has reached a creamy consistency. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker. (Cook time: 7.5-8.5 hours)
04
StepOnce the oatmeal is cooked, divide it into bowls. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and flavor! (Prep time: 5 minutes)
