Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or milk
  • 1/2 cup roasted pumpkin puree homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Pour water or milk into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add the rolled oats to the simmering liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the oats for about 5 minutes until they begin to thicken, then stir in the roasted pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mixture is thick, creamy, and the oats are tender.
  5. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to thicken further; taste and adjust sweetness or spices if desired.
  6. Spoon the warm pumpkin oatmeal into bowls, revealing a vibrant orange swirl and creamy texture.

Notes

Top with nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup for extra flavor and texture.
