Ingredients
  • 2 cups Old-fashioned Oats
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain, fat free  
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1 1/2 cups milk your choice
Directions
Add the first 4 ingredients to slow cooker and stir to combine.
In a medium bowl combine the remaining ingredients, pour over oat mixture and whisk just to combine.
Cover and cook on low 1 1/2 to 2 hours on low or until desired consistency. Garnish with toasted walnuts pieces.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned (not quick cooking) oats
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups water
  • Enough water to fill Slow Cooker about 1/4 of the way full
  • 1/2 small apple, chopped
  • sweetener of choice, to taste
Directions
In a small heat-proof bowl (that can hold at least two cups of water), stir together oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. The apples can also be added in here. I chose to keep mine out to stir in after cooking, but this is up to you. Pour two cups water over oats.
Fill Slow Cooker about 1/4 to 1/2 of the way full with water (this will depend on the size of your Slow Cooker). Add the heatproof bowl with the oat mixture to the Slow Cooker. The bowl with the oats/cinnamon/vanilla has water in it, and also sits in the slow cooker surrounded by water. The water level should rise almost to the top of the bowl.
Turn Slow Cooker on low for 7-8 hours overnight. Using a large spoon, remove bowl from Slow Cooker (it will be very hot!). Stir in chopped apple and sweetener of choice. Devour!
