Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
Toppings: Toasted pecans, hemp seeds, or almond butter
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the oats, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the oats have absorbed the liquid and reached a creamy consistency, stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and serve hot with chosen toppings.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess. For extra protein, stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder after cooking. Add walnuts, apple slices, or dark chocolate chips for variety.
