Description

A warm, comforting bowl of pumpkin oatmeal made with rolled oats, creamy almond milk, and a perfect blend of autumn spices.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve your pumpkin oatmeal warm for a cozy, nutritious breakfast that’s perfect for fall or any time you crave a soothing, flavorful meal.
