Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 285kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup soy milk or whichever plant-based milk you prefer
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Stovetop Method
- Add all of your oatmeal ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until all the liquid is absorbed and oats are soft, about 5-8 minutes.
Microwave Method
- Add all of your oatmeal ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Stir and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Stir again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring as needed, until thickened.
To Serve
- Serve with your choice of toppings like a splash of milk, almond butter, and chopped nuts.
Notes
- If using the microwave, use a larger bowl than you think you will need as oatmeal can swell up as it cooks.
- Feel free to add more maple syrup if you want a sweeter oatmeal.
- Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for more servings.
- To reheat leftover oatmeal, add a splash of milk and stir. (Oats will thicken in the fridge.) Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot.
