That's why a crock pot is so great... so easy, put your oats and liquid in before you go to bed and in the morning you have a nice pot of hot cooked oatmeal. Just scoop and eat - takes even fewer wakened brain cells than microwave usage.

I tried pumpkin in with the oats. It's pretty good, though I think I might need a little sweetener. Usually I make it without sugar and put some dried blueberries on. With the pumpkin it seems to need a bit more something sweet to bring out the flavor.
