It was hard to wait until this week to share my first pumpkin recipe of the year. We purchased two large pumpkins for our front steps over the weekend, and I already finished one container of Pumpkin Pie Spice by baking several batches of pumpkin muffins. No shame. The more pumpkin spice the better.

I start craving oatmeal daily once the temperature dips below 60 degrees in the evening. I love using steel cut oats, but rarely have the patience or time to spend 30 minutes stirring the pot. A few years ago I realized how delicious steel cut oats can be made in a slow cooker – check out my Chai Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats and Blueberry Pie Slow Cooker Oats for other ideas.
