Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 0.25 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup, to taste
- 0.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Combine all ingredients (rolled oats, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt) in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency and has absorbed most of the liquid. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
- Carefully remove from the microwave (bowl will be hot) and let it stand for 1 minute before serving.
- Serve hot, optionally topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For a thicker oatmeal, use slightly less liquid. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk after cooking. Adjust sweetener and spice to your personal preference.
