Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (90g)
  • 1.5 cups plant-based milk (360ml) use your favorite! I use slightly sweetened soy
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, canned See note 1
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or more cinnamon)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Toppings (optional but recommended!)

  • 1 tbs maple syrup
  • sprinkle pecans
  • 1 tbs peanut butter or nut butter of your choice
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1 tbs pepitas

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add the oats, plant-based milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Stir, lower heat to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the oats are cooked, stirring frequently.
  • Divide into bowls and top with pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, cinnamon, and nut butter. If you want to get fancy, heat up a few tablespoons of plant-based milk and pour it on the top as well!

Notes

Note 1: I have only tried this recipe with canned pumpkin puree.  However, it should also work with fresh pumpkin puree as well!
