Why This Recipe is So Good

Made with real pumpkin puree, your favorite pumpkin spice mix, and quick cooking oats, this oatmeal is ready in about 15 minutes. It’s sweet, hearty, and tastes like pumpkin pie in a bowl.
Also, if you have any leftover pumpkin puree, use it to make this Ninja Creami Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream. It’s the best fall dessert.
Recipe Ingredients
- Water: Cooking liquid to get the oatmeal to the right consistency. You can substitute with milk if you prefer.
- Brown sugar: Hint of sweetness and rich caramel flavor.
- Quick oats: I prefer using quick oats because they cook in just a few minutes and give a softer and creamier bowl of oatmeal. Feel free to use rolled oats or steel-cut oats if you prefer or have a bit more time on your hands.
- Canned Pumpkin purée: 100% pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling. Feel free to use your own homemade pumpkin puree as well.
- Pumpkin spice mix: Warm fall flavors like ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cloves, and ginger makes this oatmeal really taste like pumpkin pie.
- Optional: Pure maple syrup, chopped pecans or walnuts, or pumpkin seeds or pumpkin spice whipped cream for topping.

Step three. Add to a bowl then top with butter, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
Variations
If using steel-cut oats or rolled oats, you might need to add more water and add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
Instead of water cook the oatmeal with whole milk or your favorite dairy free milk alternative like soy milk, or oat milk.
Add more pumpkin puree if you want a stronger pumpkin flavor.
Serve with Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream for a more decadent pumpkin pie-inspired breakfast.
