Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch salt

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and maple syrup in a saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring every few minutes, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency, about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to settle and thicken further.
  5. Scoop the oatmeal into bowls, and if desired, add toppings like toasted nuts or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for added flavor.
  6. Serve hot immediately and enjoy the cozy flavors of fall in every spoonful.

Notes

Adjust the spices and sweetness to taste. You can also stir in a handful of dried cranberries or sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added texture.
