I’ve been making Pumpkin Oatmeal for years, every fall, when the leaves are falling and the mornings are more chilly. I have altered my recipe slightly and I even have a few variations. Somedays I bake the oatmeal, somedays I use steel cut oats and others I use old fashioned oats, always with pure pumpkin puree, always with cinnamon.
The way I make pumpkin oatmeal most often is to heat old fashioned oats over the stove top adding a little pumpkin puree and maple syrup to sweeten. I top it off with some warmed milk, pecans, and a few shakes of cinnamon. It all takes just over 10 minutes to make, then I sit and enjoy a few minutes of quietness while I eat.

Notes
If you’re interested in a baked version of pumpkin oats or would like to use steel cut oats – here’s another version for you that I created last year:
I keep seeing recipes with pumpkin purée and lots of lovely nuts! A trip to the supermarket is needed, methinks. I love oatmeal and this recipe sounds pretty perfect.
Thanks Emma! I hope you get the chance to make it. It’s super easy and tasty!
I seriously just made this the other day. It was so creamy and delicious. Oatmeal has always been my go-to breakfast staple!
