Description
Creamy, warm oatmeal flavored with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and maple syrup — a cozy, nutritious breakfast bowl perfect for autumn mornings.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
Flavorings
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, add the rolled oats, milk or water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook the Oatmeal: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy texture.
- Serve: Once the oatmeal has thickened and the oats are tender, remove from heat. Serve warm, optionally topped with nuts or an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add protein powder or Greek yogurt for an extra boost of protein and creaminess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk or water during cooking.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk.
