This creamy crockpot pumpkin spice overnight oatmeal is a set-it-and-forget-it breakfast that delivers a luscious, velvety texture with warm fall spices. Perfect for busy mornings, it’s made with simple pantry ingredients and cooks while you sleep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 cups milk (whole milk recommended, or 2%, unsweetened almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, maple syrup, butter, extra cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of a 4- to 6-quart crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, water, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Pour the steel-cut oats into the greased crockpot. Sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt over the oats and stir to combine.
  4. Pour the wet ingredient mixture over the oats and stir thoroughly, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
  5. Cover the crockpot with the lid and set to ‘Low’. Cook for 7 to 8 hours. Do not cook on high.
  6. In the morning, stir the oatmeal well. If too thick, stir in a splash of warm milk or water until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Spoon into bowls and add desired toppings. Taste and adjust sweetness or salt as needed.

Notes

Do not lift the lid while cooking. Use steel-cut oats only; rolled or quick oats will turn mushy. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and freeze well for up to 3 months.
