  5. 1½ tsp. cinnamon (I love cinnamon, add more or less to your taste)
  6. 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  7. 1 Tbsp. organic butter (optional, my nutritional analysis includes the butter)
  8. Optional: add your favorite toppings such as dried fruit or nuts to add more nutrients to your breakfast. I added 1 Tbsp peppitas and 2 Tbsp flax meal to my bowl!

  2. 2. Set the slow cooker on low setting to cook for about 6-8 hours.
