Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
1/4 cup plant milk (I used oat milk)
1 1/2 cups water
pinch of salt
1 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 - 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (I used oat milk), optional
1/4 - 1/2 cup pecans, optional

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, plant milk , water, and salt, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook over a gentle boil for 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, stopping to stir after 2 minutes. To prevent the oatmeal from boiling over, be sure to use a larger, wider bowl. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
  • Combine oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, plant milk, water, and salt into the bottom of an Instant Pot insert. Give a good stir to mix in the pumpkin puree. Attach lid, turn to lock, and set valve to SEALING. Manually set to cook for 1 minute on HIGH pressure, and let the pressure natural release for 5 minutes. Total time, including coming to pressure, is about 17 - 20 minutes.
  • Combine oats, water, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, 1plant milk, and salt in the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir well to combine and break up the pumpkin puree. Cook on LOW for 8 hours.
  • Place oatmeal in your serving bowl, top with pecans, and drizzle of maple syrup and plant milk.
  • Serves 2
  • Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 - 6 days and make for great grab-n-go meals. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 - 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin puree: Opt for 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
  • Use old-fashioned oats: They have a chewier texture and hold their shape better than quick-cooking oats.
  • Add sweetness naturally: Use maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar instead of refined white sugar.
  • Spice it up: Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your liking or add other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • Make it creamy: Stir in some milk or cream for a richer, creamier oatmeal.
  • Add mix-ins: Fold in nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or chopped apples for extra flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook: Oatmeal should be cooked until creamy and tender, but not mushy. Keep an eye on it towards the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.
