Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy alternative)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Toast the rolled oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the toasted oats, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes or until creamy and tender.
  4. Serve in bowls topped with toasted pecans and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a chewy texture; quick oats can turn mushy.
  • Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg offer more flavor.
  • Feel free to swap pecan toppings with walnuts or almonds.
  • Store any leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
  • A pinch of salt elevates all the flavors beautifully.
