Well there is not pumpkin recipe today, but you may see one come up again in the next week or so. I love these slow cooker recipes. I made this one while I was crafting. Keep an eye on it if you are using a small crock pot like the one I have pictured here. The oatmeal can really dry out if you cook it too long.
I used commercially purchased egg nog. I love the taste and it tastes great paired with the dried cranberries. Adding golden raisians would be a nice addition as well.

| Egg Nog Slow Cooker Oatmeal |
·
2 cups eggnog
·
2 cups water
·
1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats (gluten-free, if desired)
·
1/2 cup dried cranberries (craisins)
·
1/4 teaspoon salt
·
1 tablespoon chia seeds
·
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, additional dried cranberries,
additional eggnog, sprinkled with nutmeg or cinnamon
Directions
Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray.
Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and
cook on low for approx. 5 hours, or until oats are cooked & softened,
and edges have browned. (Slow cooker times may vary.) Spoon oatmeal into bowls;
add optional toppings, if desired. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Freezes
well.Alternative slow cooker method for extended cooking time without burning the edges: Insert a heat-tolerant bowl inside the slow cooker; coat inside of bowl with cooking spray. Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to the bowl; stir to combine. Pour water into the slow cooker on the outside of the bowl so that the water fills approx. halfway up the sides of the bowl. Put the cover on the slow cooker, and cook on low for up to 7 hours.
To reheat single servings: Put 1-cup cooked oatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add 1/3 cup milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue cooking for another minute, or until hot. (If frozen, microwave longer at half power.)
Recipe may be doubled in 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Increase cooking time 1 hour.
Superfood: Steel Cut Oatmeal. This oatmeal is more nutrient dense than quick cooking or rolled oatmeal.
