Description
Nothing says comfort like a warm bowl of creamy pumpkin oatmeal. Rich with pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and cozy spices, this breakfast is both nourishing and nostalgic.
Ingredients
1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup Pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
2 cups Unsweetened almond or oat milk
2 tbsp Maple syrup
1–1½ tsp Pumpkin spice blend
A pinch Sea salt
Optional: Chopped pecans, walnuts, or pepitas
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, pour in your milk and oats. Stir gently.
2. Once it starts to bubble, mix in the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice.
3. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Turn off the heat when the oats are thickened and creamy. Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt.
5. Scoop into bowls and top with nuts, seeds, or an extra swirl of syrup.
Notes
Use coconut milk for a richer flavor or add Greek yogurt for extra protein.
For a nutty variation, fold in almond butter or peanut butter at the end.
Leftovers can be stored for up to 5 days or frozen in muffin tins for easy reheating.
Great with toppings like chocolate chips, banana slices, or cinnamon bread crumbles.
