Crock Pot Pumpkin Crumb Cake Recipe Notes
I made a few adjustments to the original recipe to suit our tastes and what I had on hand.
I used less water to prevent the cake from being too moist.
And substituted mini chocolate chips for white and walnuts for pecans.
I also decreased the amounts to shave a few calories.
Somehow I always feel better about pumpkin desserts since pumpkin a great source of vitamins, minerals and fiber 🙂

Ingredients
- 1 box box cinnamon crumb cake mix (with cake mix and cinnamon topping; I used Krusteaz brand)
- ½ cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-Quart.
Set aside the cinnamon topping packet from the cake mix.
In a large bowl stir together the dry cake mix, water, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl stir together the cinnamon topping and nuts.
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. (I lined it with nonstick foil instead.) Spread half the cake batter into the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon mixture. Dollop the remaining cake batter on top and spread it out over the cinnamon mixture. Top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
Cover the top of the crock pot with 3 to 4 layers of paper towels and then set the lid on top. (This will prevent condensation that develops in the lid from dripping back into your cake.)
Cook on HIGH for 2 to 2-½ hours, or until the cake is set, then remove the lid and paper towels and turn off the slow cooker.
Let the cake sit for 15 minutes before cutting. Enjoy warm.
