Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
Optional Toppings
  • toasted pecans
  • heavy whipping cream
  • brown sugar
  • pumpkin seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring water, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, spices, and salt to a boil.
  2. Stir in oats and cranberries. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 13-16 minutes stirring occasionally.
  3. Top with pecans, brown sugar, cream, and pumpkin seeds if desired.

Notes

  • This oatmeal is lightly sweetened. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, increase the sugar.
  • For super-rich and creamy oatmeal, replace water with milk (as we do in this recipe).
  • Using old-fashioned oats will give the end result a heavier, chewier texture than quick-cook or instant oats.
  • For a dairy-free option, use soy, almond, or any kind of dairy-free milk in a 1:1 substitution.
  • Dairy (or even non-dairy milks) can have sugars that can burn. Be sure to keep the heat low and stir frequently.
  • Soak oats overnight in the pumpkin cream mixture. They'll cook much faster, or they can be eaten cold, without cooking.
