Pumpkin isn't just for Thanksgiving anymore! This is an easy-to-prepare pumpkin recipe and it's like having a pumpkin pie without the crust. Get a big can of canned pumpkin - NOT the pie filling, which is already sweetened and spiced - and put this in a slow cooker. Let something else do all the work for you.
We used my 2-quart slow cooker and it rose up to the top but did not go over, but you can go as high as a 6-quart cooker. Make this recipe on a crisp fall day, when the leaves are falling and there's a chill in the air, for the ultimate aesthetic experience.

- Vegetable oil as needed
- 1/2 cup flour

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and Nashville Spice Company Fine Sea Salt.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly to combine
- Transfer mixture to the slow cooker
