Directions
Ad the water, steel-cut oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook overnight, around 8 hours, so the oats become nice and tender. In the morning, give it a good stir, and it’s ready to enjoy! If it seems a bit thick, you can always add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
Best Serving Ideas

Best Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of plant milk if it’s too thick.
