Pumpkin pie oatmeal is like eating pumpkin pie for breakfast…
Who wouldn’t want to eat pumpkin pie for breakfast?
(Pumpkin oatmeal shown about, with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon fairy dust.)
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
(Serves 1)
- 1/2 c. milk of choice (such as almond milk)
- 1/2 c. water or more milk of choice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 c. rolled oats
- 1/4 c. canned pumpkin
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- sweetener as desired (For a true “creme brulee” feel, you can use the Melted Banana Trick… or, I have a friend who likes to put brown sugar on top and then bake the already-cooked oatmeal under the “broil” setting, so it gets all caramelized.)
- raisins and walnuts as desired
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- cinnamon! Mix some in, and sprinkle more on top
Combine all ingredients on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Stir over medium heat until desired thickness is reached. Alternatively, you can make this in the microwave..
After breakfast, the celebration of the pumpkins continued. A few friends and I have a tradition of going down to a local farm once a year to act goofy pick out pumpkins. But sadly, all the friends with whom I have this tradition moved away. Grad school and jobs, ya know. Well, that wasn’t going to stop me; somehow I convinced my parents to stand in for the m.i.a. friends.
Of all the kids at the farm, my dad had the most fun. Seriously, he’s five inside.
I picked out a baby pumpkin… pumpkin-picking is fun and all, but let’s be honest: If you want a big kahuna, the pumpkins at the grocery store are much cheaper!
Love, love, love your recipes but notice you don’t use honey. Any reason why not?
Also, is there a cook book I can purchase?
Some of Katie’s recipes do call for honey. And she says there will be a cookbook out at the end of this year! 🙂
What is the nutritional information on this recipe?
PS I have enjoyed a few of your items and have been in love with all of them so far, can’t wait to try more (especially the pumpkin ones, I love it)!
Thank you,
Amber : )
Katie hadn’t started calculating nutrition back when this was posted, but all of her recipes as of a year ago will have nutrition info included.
Just made a batch this morning. Love it and fits in perfectly with my New Years healthy eating plan. Thanks for sharing!
THANKYOUUUU.
I have just adapted your recipe and made this for breakfast this morning!! It tasted really good, though I changed some of the measurements and eliminated some of the ingredients. I even named it “Healthy Cinderalla Cookie Dough Pie Oats”!
You can check it out over here: http://xyloxin.blogspot.sg/2015/02/healthy-cinderalla-cookie-dough-pie.html
Thankyouuuu again, it’s my new fav!
this was fantastic! I mixed 1/2TBsp of Truvia brown sugar and 1/2 TBsp chopped pecans, put on top baked oatmeal and broiled in the oven as suggested- delicious!!
Does anyone know the nutrition information for this recipe?
This is so good! I made it for breakfast. I’ve been reading your blog for two years, why did I just now decide to try this?? I used maple syrup as sweetener, as I was out of bananas. Will definitely be making this again!
Hey,
Thanks so much for this post! I am so excited to see this pumpkin recipe! Autumn is one of my favorite season because pumpkin flavors are so popular!
Best,
