Creamy Pumpkin Oatmeal

Creamy Pumpkin Oatmeal

2 c steel cut oats, rinsed
1 12 oz can fat free evaporated milk
1 15 oz can pumpkin
5 1/2 c water
1 c splenda (depends on how sweet you like it)
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Spray slow cooker with pam. Mix everything in the slow cooker until there are no chunks of pumpkin left. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Makes about 10 1 cup servings

Evaporated milk is real, fresh milk that has been gently heated to remove half the water, which makes it richer. The sugars are naturally occurring, not ADDED. Also, be sure your canned pumpkin doesn't have any ADDED sugar. Pumpkin also has naturally occurring sugars. You can tell what's natural and what's added by checking the ingredients. If you see sugar of any kind in the first 5 ingredients, look for a better alternative. Be especially wary of High Fructose Corn Syrup. BAD STUFF!! If you see no added sugars in the list of ingredients, you can safely assume these sugars are naturally occurring and THESE sugars are A- O.K.
