Today I’m going to link up with one of the recipes from my blog. Did you know you can prepare oatmeal in the slow cooker? A hot and delicious breakfast will be ready for you in the morning.
It’s pumpkin season. Once fall hits, it seems as though there is pumpkin spiced everything. So today’s slow-cooking recipe is a pumpkin pie oatmeal cooked in the slow cooker. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal sounds delicious!
While eating the oatmeal, I can use the remaining pumpkin puree to make a pumpkin spiced latte.
I love drinking Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks, but at over $4 for a cup, it’s more economical to make your own.
This is an easy recipe that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.
