Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the rolled oats, milk or water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt together until fully combined.
- 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 even cooking.
- Serve and garnish: Once the oatmeal has thickened and the oats are tender, remove from heat. Serve hot, optionally topped with nuts, extra maple syrup, or your favorite toppings for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add protein powder or Greek yogurt to boost nutrition and make it more filling.
- Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk or water.
