As the cooler weather rolls in this pumpkin oatmeal recipe hits the spot. It has ton of pumpkin flavor, a touch of spice and sweetness— it'll warm you right up!

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 and 1/3 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • Optional Toppings: nuts, milk, granola, fruit etc.

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the oats and milk. Bring to a slow boil. Then, stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low, simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly until the oatmeal thickens.
  3. Remove from the heat. Serve immediately with a splash of milk, nuts, etc.

Notes

  1. Make Ahead Instructions: The oatmeal can be made stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This is the perfect breakfast meal prep!
  2. Oats: If needing this recipe to be gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats.
  3. Milk: Any type of milk can be used— I prefer to use oat or almond milk.
  4. Pumpkin Puree: This recipe calls for pure pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. 
  5. Toppings: Add what you love or eat it plain— I usually top it with a splash of milk and nuts (either walnuts or pecans.)
  6. Microwave: Add the oats and milk to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for ~2 minutes or until the oats are cooked through. Then, stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
