Make a delicious and healthy breakfast the whole family will love with these simple Blueberry Pie Crockpot Steel-Cut Oatmeal!

The truth is that I don’t really even like pie.

I mean I don’t hate pie (who hates pie?) but it’s not my dessert of choice. I’d choose a brownie/cookie/blondie/ice cream/chocolate over pie any day. Admit that you want to eat this pot o’ oatmeal like ten times more now that I’ve called it pie. Mmmmmhmmm.

But really, this oatmeal is like the best of both worlds—all those heart-healthy oats with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber paired with the subtle sweetness from granola and coconut…heaven in a bowl, my frands.

Oatmeal is one of two go-to breakfasts that I recommend to my clients (the other being a smoothie). Why? Because it has one single ingredient that happens to be super good for you. Oats are minimally processed and packed with fiber, energizing B vitamins, and plant-powered protein. Did I mention that they’re easy to prepare? Easy preparation means people will actually go home and make them. Suggesting making oatmeal with almond butter for breakfast and suggesting buckwheat chia pancakes with maple cashew cream are two very, very different things.

I love that each bowl of oatmeal has a totally different personality. While I like mine with a bit of sea salt, raw almond butter, and berries, other people like it with maple syrup, nanners, and cinnamon. As long as you don’t dump a truckload of brown sugar into it, I’m a happy gal.

Adding granola to this oatmeal is what took it to the pie level. Love Grown is my new favorite granola/cereal company thanks to their squeaky clean ingredient list and fantabulous flavor profiles. I love that the sugar content in the granola isn’t through the roof; but what I love even more is that the Power O’s cereal is made with beans. BEANS! Like chickpeas and all of my other beany buddies. This cereal was made for my mouth.

And the cocoa goodness granola? Prepare to eat the whole bag in three sittings. Maybe two and half.

  16. Pie’s neverr been my favorite, either…like, I prefer mock pie recipes over the actual real deal. I’m thinking these mock pie oats are the next thing to go in my crock pot. I can taste the health benefits now!!

  17. Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast! I have it pretty much every morning. I make mine with bananas, pumpkin pie spice, chia seeds, organic pumpkin, and a spoonful of almond butter stirred in at the end. So yum!

  21. Oh goodness this looks fabulous and I have all the ingredients! Like you I’m all about smoothies and then oats are definitely second. I actually had a Skoop Strong B blueberry smoothie this morning and it was marvelous…Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!

  35. Love oatmeal in the morning! I am a nut butter girl all the way so I usually keep it simple with a little bit (sometimes a lot a bit) of natural PB or Almond butter on top. I’ve actually been using a recipe for steel cut oats in the crock pot that you included in a WIAW post (I think) and I am LOVING it. Makes my morning so quick and easy.

    I’d love to try the granola though and mix it up!

  38. My go-to breakfasts are usually oatmeal or smoothies… and sometimes both at the same time. Either way, I love me some berries in the morning. Oatmeal sounds delicious! p.s. I’ve actually never tried any Love Grown products – crazy!

  51. my favorite breakfast is a huge smoothie bowl (made a bit thick to spoon) and topping it with fruit, nuts, and fun things like granola :)

  63. Lately I have been mixing an egg + 1/3 cup of oats + splash of almond milk for a breakfast pancake. With peanut butter, of course.

    By the way, your website is blocked on my school’s wifi. Weird, right?

  64. I love just about any breakfast food. I recently became addicted to oatmeal (never liked it as a kid). I eat it pretty plain, but I keep seeing these yummy, jazzed up oats, and I really can’t wait to try them!
    I love French toast, omelettes, smoothies and as a treat, eggs Benedict.

  72. My favorite breakfast is old fashioned oats with banana, dried cranberries, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cooked quinoa and a heavy drizzle of honey.

    Reply

  79. I go back and forth between oats (with banana and a nut butter mixed in) and a couple of eggs and a side of veggies. I could eat eggs 3 meals a day and be content!

  86. My favorite breakfast is actually leftover pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving! This year, I didn’t get any actual pie on the holiday, so I made myself an extra healthy pumpkin pie just for breakfast. I used lots of oats, ground flax, and just a few tablespoons of honey!

  92. I love to have dippy eggs with toast or a stuffed omlette on the weekends. During the week I stick to oats or overnight oats. Thanks for this!
