    As the temps start to drop, I love sending my kids off to school with a warm, cozy bowl of steel cut oats (the oats of my childhood!) Inspired by my love of fall, this pumpkin spice oatmeal recipe is made with whole milk, steel cut oats, flax seed meal, maple syrup, pure pumpkin and spices.

    1. I tried this and it turned out amazing! However, the recipe said 6 hours and instructions said 8 on low. Do you think this is why the oats were burnt on the side and bottom of my crock pot?

      1. Hi Amy – Yes the serving size is 1 cup. Do you see that listed in the nutrition facts? Want to make sure you see it because all 1100+ of my recipes include nutrition facts including serving sizes. :) Enjoy!

    2. Have you ever tried this with a non- dairy substitute say like Almond milk?
      I can not have dairy and think this would be wonderful with almond milk.
