How To Make Pumpkin Oatmeal
When you love to sleep in as much as I do, there’s very little time to lay out a gourmet breakfast. That’s why I appreciate fast and easy recipes that are also hearty and good for the soul. Pumpkin Oatmeal will soon become one of your favorites! Here’s a quick step-by-step:
Ingredients
Minute oats (quick-cooking oats) Almond milk Canned pumpkin (aka pumpkin puree) Light brown sugar Pumpkin pie spice Salt Optional toppings: Butterscotch chips White chocolate chips Chopped walnuts Whipped topping
Microwave Oatmeal Basic Recipe
One of my favorite things about oatmeal is how easy it is to make. You can make it on the stove, in the oven, or even in the microwave! Making this Pumpkin Oatmeal in the microwave means you can have a healthy and tasty breakfast in just a couple of minutes. So busy mornings don’t mean you can’t have a nice filling meal to start the day.
Can I Make This Oatmeal in the Oven Instead?
If you’re in a hurry, making this in the microwave is ideal. But if you have a little more time, you can certainly make Pumpkin Oatmeal in the oven instead. Simply follow the directions above (or in the recipe card below), combining all the ingredients (not the toppings) together in a baking dish. Next, bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes, or until it’s the consistency you like. Then top with all your yummy toppings, like walnuts and whipped cream. And if you want a recipe that can feed the family, try this Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal!
Can I Use Pumpkin Pie Filling in This Recipe?
Yes, you can, but you’ll need to make a few changes. This recipe calls for solid-pack pure pumpkin, which is made from cooked and pureed pumpkin and nothing else. So we add milk, spices, and sweetener to make it taste like pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie filling already has those ingredients added, so if you use pie filling instead of pure pumpkin, reduce the almond milk to ½ cup, and omit the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice (and the canned pumpkin, too!). Use 1½ cups of pumpkin pie filling–that accounts for the amount of milk that goes in with the canned pumpkin.
