Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or water / plant-based milk like almond or oat milk)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional toppings:

  • Whipped cream or coconut cream
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Maple syrup drizzle

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, bring milk or water to a gentle boil.
  • Stir in the oats, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and creamy — about 5–7 minutes.
    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Spoon into bowls and top with whipped cream, cinnamon, and anything else that makes you happy.

Tip: For extra richness, stir in a small knob of butter or a splash of heavy cream before serving. It’s optional — but transformative.
