Pumpkin Oatmeal
Description
In this Pumpkin Oatmeal, rolled oats are simmered alongside pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to infuse the dish with subtle autumnal aroma and flavor. Maple syrup contributes natural sweetness while a pinch of salt balances the notes. Cooking is done on the stovetop until thickened, producing a creamy consistency that can be loosened with extra milk if desired.
This oatmeal serves well for a wholesome breakfast, providing warmth and comfort especially in cooler seasons. It adapts easily to available dairy or non-dairy milk and supports varied toppings according to preference. The pumpkin pie spice adds depth without overpowering the natural oats and pumpkin.
Notes highlight the option to use quick-cooking oats for faster preparation and suggest making a homemade pumpkin pie spice if not available. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to three days, allowing easy reheating for subsequent meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats 57 grams, old-fashioned
- 1/4 cup pumpkin 66 grams, puree
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or more to taste)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (17 to 37 grams)
- 1 cup water 8 ounces, or milk
- salt pinch
Instructions
- Combine the oats, pumpkin, spice, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, water or milk, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and stir often so the oats don't stick to the bottom of the pan. It will take roughly 5 minutes to thicken.
- Season to taste, adding more maple syrup, if desired. Serve with your favorite toppings, and extra milk, if you'd like a looser oatmeal texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Quick-cooking oats can be used to reduce cooking time to under 5 minutes.
- The recipe adapts to use water or any milk, including dairy or plant-based options.
- Leftovers store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If pumpkin pie spice is unavailable, homemade blends can substitute to achieve similar flavor.
