Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) for topping

Dried cranberries or raisins for serving (optional)

Maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the slow cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Transfer to the slow cooker: Pour the mixture into the greased slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.

        Set the slow cooker: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy. Stir the oatmeal once or twice during cooking if possible.

          Serve: Once cooked, give the oatmeal a good stir. Serve warm in bowls and top with chopped nuts, dried fruits, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your cozy breakfast!
