Pumpkin Oatmeal

Ingredients

  • rolled oats160 g
  • milk250 ml
  • water250 ml
  • pumpkin puree120 g
  • maple syrup2 tbsp
  • cinnamon1 tsp
  • ground ginger0.5 tsp
  • nutmeg0.25 tsp
  • vanilla extract0.5 tsp
  • salt1 pinch

Method

  1. 1Combine the oats, milk, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. 2Once simmering, stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. The mixture will thicken noticeably as the pumpkin combines with the oats.
  3. 3Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring every minute or so. The oats are ready when they are soft but still have a little bite. Pull the pan off the heat a little earlier than you think.
  4. 4Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust maple syrup or spices.
  5. 5Spoon into bowls. Top with a splash of milk, chopped pecans or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
