Ingredients You Need
Here are the simple ingredients for pumpkin pie oatmeal. Skip to the recipe card for exact measurements.
- Gluten free old-fashioned oats: I use Bob’s Red Mill brand and love it.
- Pumpkin puree: make sure to get the canned pumpkin only, not the pumpkin pie mix!
- Pumpkin spices: you can use a mixture of the spices included here or you can use pumpkin pie mix if you already have it.
- Maple syrup: adds a little sweetness and more fall maple flavor.
- Pecans: it’s like you’re eating a pecan pie! Pecans were made for fall.
Have extra pumpkin puree? Make pumpkin streusel muffins, healthy pumpkin pancakes, or pumpkin pie overnight oats next.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
- Mix in a bowl: mix the oats and milk in a large microwave-safe serving bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the pumpkin: Stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, spices, and vanilla and stir to combine. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- Top and serve: finish with chopped nuts or more of your favorite oeatmeal toppings. Enjoy warm!
Make it On the Stovetop
Combine the oats and milk in a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. When it’s simmering, add the pumpkin, maple syrup, and spices. Cook to your desired consistency (about 2 minutes). Serve hot with toppings!
Can I Make Overnight Pumpkin Oatmeal?
Yes, you can turn this into overnight oats. Although I have a separate recipe for pumpkin pie overnight oats, you can add all of the ingredients to a bowl, stir, and refrigerate overnight.
Oatmeal Topping
- Nuts: pecans and walnuts are my favorite.
- Nut butter: a dollop of almond butter or peanut butter adds healthy fats.
- Fresh fruit: add bananas, blueberries, apples, or figs.
- Cream: a splash of heavy cream or half and half adds richness.
- Pumpkin seeds: for some fiber and crunch.
- Chocolate chips: kids love a sprinkling of dark chocolate.
