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)
- 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.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, ensuring it doesn’t boil rapidly.
- Thicken Oatmeal: Stir frequently and let the oatmeal simmer until it thickens to your preferred consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes.
- 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.
