Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice, or water, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (plus additional to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh fruit (such as apple slices, blueberries, or bananas)
- Greek yogurt
- Heavy cream
- Toasted nuts or seeds (such as pecans or pepitas)
- Dried fruit (such as golden raisins or cranberries)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, and kosher salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and taste. Add additional maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. If the oatmeal is too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
- Spoon the pumpkin oatmeal into bowls and garnish with your choice of fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, a drizzle of heavy cream, toasted nuts or seeds, and dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
- Serve your pumpkin oatmeal warm for a cozy, nutritious breakfast that’s perfect for fall or any time you crave a soothing, flavorful meal.
