Honestly, Ariel, regular oats would probably get too mushy. The only reason the slow cooker is needed is because steel cut oats take much longer to cook. You could probably make this on the stovetop with instant or old fashioned oats in about 10 minutes.

Can you use regular oats for this recipe?

Made this overnight last night. Super easy and delicious; not as sweet as I thought it would be but still quite wonderful. I topped with bananas and it was a warm, hearty breakfast. I’ll be making this one again and again!

Creamy yumminess! I’ve made it twice, and the second time I added some fresh grated ginger before cooking, and mixed chopped fresh pear in with it just before eating.

I don’t think you can ever have too much pumpkin. :)

I completely agree a out using the entire can of pumpkin! I just made a very similar recipe in the oven last night that turned out great with almost double the pumpkin than what it called for.

Had this this past weekend, it was great! I had mine with sucanat and chopped pecans and a little dried coconut on top–delicioso. Will definitely do this again. It was really nice to wake up to this wonderful smell of fall through the house.

We love our steel cut oats in the morning. Lately we eat them every day. I have found the perfect way to keep it from sticking. I wrote a post about it here on my site but here are the instructions for using the slow cooker. It’s a bit more work up front but cleaning it up takes no time at all. The water keeps everything from drying out.

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl that will fit inside your slow cooker.
2. Place a towel in the bottom of your slow cooker and place the bowl with the oats on top of it.
3. Fill the slow cooker with water until the waterline outside of the bowl is the same as the waterline inside the bowl.
4. Turn on low and leave overnight.
5. In the morning use a turkey baster to remove enough water so that you can take the bowl out of the slow cooker.

Hey Roni! Have you ever tried using crockpot liners? Reynold’s makes them and they are AWESOME for things like this because you don’t have any clean up. I started using them when my largest crockpot got a crack in it (I’m cheap and didn’t want to just throw it out) and that’s pretty much what sold me on them. I use them in my smaller crockpots when I am making sticky stuff (oats, apple butter, refried beans).
