I eat oatmeal for breakfast anywhere from 2 to 7 days a week. I never get sick of it. I think that’s because I have tried so many different variations and loved almost all of them.
Since it’s Autumn, and I look for any excuse to eat dessert instead of a “real meal”, I whipped up pumpkin pie oatmeal.
You will need:
1/2 cup dry oats
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup pumpkin purée
Ground cinnamon
2 splenda packets ( or sugar, stevia, equal, whatever you like)
A few walnuts
Maple syrup or agave nectar
Measure out your oats then put them into a small pot.
Measure and pour in your milk and water.
Cook over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, add in the sweetener, vanilla, pumpkin, and cinnamon.
Stir until fluffy.
Top with maple syrup and walnuts if you like.
I love pumpkin pie oatmeal and actually oats in general. So healthy and so delicious. lolz.
I really like pumpkin and oatmeal so this is right up my alley!! Looks so delicious.
This sounds so tasty. I wonder if the mix would work for overnight oats too. I have to try this!! I have cans of pumpkin and oats waiting at home.
I’ve never tried overnight oats…hmmm….
Ew. Oatmeal. Just can’t do it. It smells so good and tastes so gross.
Have you made oatmeal in a crockpot? I’ve heard some ladies do this but have yet to try it….

I’ve seen recipes for crockpot oatmeal. I love my crockpot, you’d think I tried it out before. I’ve never done it. I should give it a whirl.

This was a twitter recipe request! I make this pumpkin oatmeal during the day (or night) and we eat it throughout the week. The kids love it and I do too!
