Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Your Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, bring your plant-based milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the rolled oats and a pinch of salt, cooking for about 2 minutes to start softening the grains.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Spices: Mix in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice (natural), whisking until the mixture turns a lovely golden-orange color and the oats are getting tender. The warm spices will fill your kitchen with an inviting aroma.
  3. Sweeten and Flavor: Drizzle in the maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural), stirring gently. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the oats to build a creamy texture that’s thick but still scoopable.
  4. Incorporate Optional Seeds: For added nutrition and interesting texture, stir in chia seeds and let the oatmeal rest off the heat for a few minutes so the seeds can plump up naturally.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer your Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal into bowls, ready to be dressed up with your favorite toppings or eaten as is for a comforting start to your day.
