Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 2/3 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Garnish

  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Toppings of choice (such as nuts, seeds, berries, or sliced banana)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add oats, pumpkin puree, lite coconut milk, water, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using) into a small saucepan. Stir well to integrate all ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture gently to a simmer, ensuring it doesn’t boil rapidly to prevent sticking.
  3. Simmer and Thicken: Continue to stir frequently as the oatmeal simmers, allowing it to thicken to your preferred consistency. This typically takes around 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Once thickened, divide the oatmeal evenly into two bowls. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top and add your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the lite coconut milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your preference.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup or sweetener to your taste or omit it entirely for less sweetness.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin without added spices or sugar for best results.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the oatmeal and add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Try toppings like toasted nuts, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
