Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (for garnish)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Your choice of toppings (e.g., nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, nut butter)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add oats, pumpkin puree, lite coconut milk, water, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using) to a small saucepan. Stir well to blend all components thoroughly.
  2. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, ensuring it doesn’t boil rapidly.
  3. Thicken Oatmeal: Stir frequently and let the oatmeal simmer until it thickens to your preferred consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats will require longer cooking.
  • Adjust liquid amounts to reach desired thickness.
  • Maple syrup is optional and can be substituted with honey or agave nectar.
  • Great for make-ahead breakfasts; refrigerate and reheat with a splash of coconut milk.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
  • Customize toppings based on your preference–nuts, seeds, fresh berries, or dried fruit all work well.
