If you love pumpkin, you’ll love these pumpkin oats! I make pumpkin oatmeal every fall and winter, and it’s the quintessential cozy breakfast, especially alongside a warm cappuccino.
Pumpkin Oatmeal Ingredients
The ingredient list is short and sweet:
- Oats – either old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats work well (not instant)
- Milk, water, or plant-based milk (almond milk, cashew milk, etc.)
- Pumpkin puree – I frequently have canned pumpkin leftover from making pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin muffins, and this pumpkin oatmeal is a perfect way to use leftover pumpkin
- Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- Maple syrup – if you want this to be a little more decadent, like pumpkin pie oatmeal, just add an extra teaspoon or two of maple syrup
- Salt
Pumpkin is a bit bland on its own, so the cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and salt add a LOT of flavor.
Toppings
I appreciate some texture and crunch in oatmeal, and toppings make a big difference. For pumpkin oats, I love adding pecans, walnuts, or pepitas for crunch and dried cranberries, raisins, diced apple, or banana slices for a little bit of extra sweetness.
You can make this oatmeal on the stove-top (5-10 minutes) or in the microwave (2-3 minutes and my preferred method). Either way, it’s quick and easy!
I wrote this pumpkin oatmeal recipe for one, but in the recipe card below, you can click where it says “1 serving” and adjust the slider— all the way up to 20 servings.
