Overnight Pumpkin Cranberry Steel Cut Oatmeal

Pumpkin and steel cut oatmeal were brought up by two clients yesterday, so I was inspired to finally make the pumpkin oatmeal I have been thinking about.  My first client yesterday talked about what to do with a huge pumpkin that she received in her CSA box and other client talked about making steel cut oats overnight in the slow cooker.  So last night I put together the recipe below and this morning I woke up to a yummy aroma and breakfast was ready-to-go, which was  a good thing, because today was a particularly rushed morning.Overnight Pumpkin Cranberry Steel Cut Oatmeal

• 1 cup steel cut oats*
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup cranberries
• 1 cup pureed pumpkin

1. Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray so that the oats don't stick (too badly)
2. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker.
3. Cook on low 8-9 hours.
4. Serve with milk, more spices, chopped apple and/or any other toppings you'd like.
