Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, accompanied by a warm aroma as it starts to steam.
  2. Add the rolled oats to the simmering milk, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and clumping, until the oats start to look plump and soaked.
  4. Scoop in the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, stirring well so all the spices are fragrant and incorporated fully.

Notes

Feel free to top with nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt for extra texture and flavor.
