Instructions

Prepare Crockpot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray (this helps with cleanup).
Combine Ingredients: Add oats, milk, water, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, and flax seed (if using) into the crockpot. Stir well to combine.
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (overnight) or on HIGH for 3–4 hours until oats are tender and creamy.
Serve: Stir the oatmeal well before serving. Spoon into bowls and add your favorite garnishes like nuts, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, or a swirl of peanut butter!

Notes

I recommend using steel-cut oats. Rolled oats or quick oats will become mushy in the crockpot.
Use all milk instead of half water for a richer oatmeal. Coconut milk or oat milk also adds a nice flavor for a dairy-free option.
Meal Prep Friendly: Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to loosen.
