Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Rolled Oats (Old-Fashioned)
  • 1 cup Milk (Whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (100% pure)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (Packed)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 generous pinch Salt
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Pecans or Walnuts (for topping)
  • Maple Syrup (for drizzling, to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Combine milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the rolled oats once the liquid is simmering. Reduce heat slightly to maintain a gentle bubble and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are creamy.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to the saucepan.
  4. Stir vigorously to fully incorporate all ingredients. Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
  5. Remove from heat immediately. Cover the pan and let the Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal stand for 2 minutes off the heat.
  6. Divide the oatmeal into bowls. Top generously with toasted nuts and finish with a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
