Description

Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal is a warm and comforting breakfast that combines creamy rolled oats with pure pumpkin puree, natural spices, and plant-based ingredients, creating a nutritious and satisfying meal perfect for any season. Infused with cozy flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, this oatmeal offers a deliciously smooth texture with a touch of sweetness from natural maple syrup, enhanced by the healthy addition of chia seeds and natural gelling agents for ideal creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Dark cocoa powder or plant-based chocolate chips
  • Canned coconut milk (to substitute some plant-based milk for extra creaminess)
  • Crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Plant-based yogurt
  • Additional sprinkle of cinnamon (natural)
  • Extra maple syrup (natural) drizzle

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice (natural), chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to ensure the flavors distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Add Moist Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, pure pumpkin puree, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent over the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is well combined and smooth.
  3. Cook Over Medium Heat: Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and to help thicken the oatmeal evenly.
  4. Simmer Until Creamy: Continue cooking and stirring for 7 to 10 minutes or until the oatmeal reaches your preferred creaminess and texture, ensuring it is luscious and spoonable.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the oatmeal into bowls. Add your choice of toppings such as toasted nuts, berries, plant-based yogurt, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup (natural) to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for a brighter and more vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by adding more maple syrup (natural) or plant-based sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
  • Stir the oatmeal frequently during cooking to prevent clumping and achieve a uniformly creamy texture.
  • Opt for thick plant-based milk varieties like oat or cashew milk for the best creaminess without thinning the oatmeal.
  • For a quick morning option, soak oats and pumpkin puree overnight in the refrigerator with the spices and milk to prepare overnight oatmeal.
