Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 3 cups water (680 mL)
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (570 g)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (220 g)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (can substitute brown sugar)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Pinch each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, stir together the water, rolled oats, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well mixed.
- Cook Oatmeal: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the oats are tender. Taste to ensure the oats are soft and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Spoon the pumpkin oatmeal into bowls and serve warm. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and crunchy pecans for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra warmth, try adding pumpkin pie spice or a pinch of allspice along with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Use brown sugar as a substitute for maple syrup if preferred.
- Top with nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch and nutrition.
