    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

    Updated: Jul 21, 2023 by Veronica Noone · This post may contain affiliate links · 23 Comments

    Don't get your hopes up, it's more oatmeal then pie. And since we are in full fledge fall I just had to do something my canned pumpkin. Just HAD to! ;~P

    I'm getting more into oatmeal but not the pre-packages flavors. I really want to find ways to make it fun and tasty at home without using a pre-flavored package with all the junk in it.

    Not that I'm totally against the junk, sometimes that junk makes things tastes good! :~) But I'm making an effort to overall reduce it in our diets and to replace it with homemade goodness where I KNOW what all the ingredients are, kind of like I did for Creamy Berry Oatmeal.

    Now, I happen to use a packet of original plain instant oatmeal for this but you can adjust and use the quick cooking stuff found in the big containers. That's cheaper anyway, I just happen to have a packet lying around.

    Now yesterday, the toddler tried it, said he liked I but didn't want his own. Today I couldn't get him to go near it. He's hit or miss with oatmeal, it's strange. He's more of a pancake guy.

    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

    Ingredients

    • 1 packet of plain instant or quick oats oatmeal (just about an ounce or 28g)
    • 2-4 ounces (¼ - ½ cup) of boiling water depending on how thick you like it (I used 3 ounces for the batch in the photo)
    • 1 teaspoon (15g) brown or raw sugar
    • ¼ cup (60g) of plain canned pumpkin
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

    Instructions

    Add boiling water to oatmeal and let it sit while you pull out all the other ingredients, about 2 minutes). If you like it thick like I do, the water should just cover the oats.

    Add the pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir together! If it's to thick, add a splash of the boiling water. This will bring the temperature back up too.

    Eat!

      Another delicious oatmeal recipe, thank you! I accidentally put in 1 tsp of cinnamon; the cinnamon taste was a bit strong, but I'll remember for next time. Now I can alternate this with the banana chocolate chip oatmeal!

      Another great recipe! I added a little vanilla.

      I'm amazed at how filling this small portion can be.

      Here's how I make steel cut oats:

      2 cups H20
      2 cups milk (I've heard people do this with fruit juice tho)

      Both in a saucepan. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla (1 tsp or so).

      Heat to just boiling

      Add 2 cups oats, raisins (I just eyeball until I think enough is in there), dried cranberries, sultanas, nuts.

      Reduce heat and cook it for, I don't know, until it looks "right" to me (pretty much when most of the liquid is absorbed)

      Turn off the heat. Put the lid on. Let it sit overnight.

      We, DH & I find it makes enough for 4 or 5 days.

      We heat it and sweeten it before we eat in the morning. It's kind of like having dessert for breakfast.

      To make easy steel cut oats, boil 4 cup water in a medium sauce pan. Add 1 cups oats. Turn off burner and cover pan with tight fitting lid. Leave on stove over night, and in the morning, you have perfect oatmeal.

      If you add raisins or some other dried fruit, it sweet enough that you don't need to add any sweetener. I often add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and cardamom. I love spice in my oatmeal! 🙂

      Roni,

      Haven't looked at your sites in a while, and then saw this! I love pumpkin and oatmeal and can't wait to try this at home. The apple pie oatmeal as well, for my hubby who loves apple pie (though he doesn't usually eat oatmeal).

      Hope all is well,

      Can someone post the pumpkin fluff recipe. I'm not a Weight Watchers member. I am looking for something that would be like the filling of pumpkin pie without the crust. Can you just make up the pumpkin pie filling and bake it in custard cups?

      Hi Roni,

      I make pumpkin oatmeal all the time but instead of using water I use brewed tea - pumpkin spice flavour. I do this with all kinds of tea flavours and it's a great way to add taste without weird chemicals or extra calories.

      Right now I use Tim Horton's pumpkin spice tea, but I found other kinds online: http://www.bigelowtea.com/shop/details.cfm?si=1&pi=00190

      Yummy! 🙂

      this looks great, i too have canned pumpkin i'm ready to use! i've tried the steel cut oatmeal in the crockpot and it is very tasy. Trader Joe's also has frozen pre-cooked steel cut oatmeal, so all you have to do is heat for a couple of minutes and done... i'm eating some as i type, delish!

      I've done steel cut oats in the crock pot over night a lot of recipes online recommend putting dried fruit in. Kinda nice to wake up and breakfast is ready to put into a bowl 🙂 I will do this again when it gets cold (in southern california it takes a while).

      I love this. I had a version of pumpkin oatmeal this morning too! I eat oatmeal every morning with a banana mashed into it, but I just started adding a bit organic pumpkin. I love how thick the pumpkin makes it, it really fills me up 🙂

      I have bought some! LOL Just haven't taken the leap yet! :~) I barely have time to make the toddler's lunch at night let alone remember to soak my oatmeal for breakfast. Not that I'm making excuses! :~P

      AS for the NI, haven't had time yet. I'll have to double check my nutritiondata.com entry, I must have entered something in too high. Thanks for reminding me, it's on the "to do"!

      Roni, Roni, Roni- This looks really good but when am I going to get you to try Steele cut oats? I know that they take a long time to cook but if you brown them up a bit and then let them soak overnight they really don't take that long in the a.m. For my pumpkin oatmeal I make the old pumpkin fluff recipe that circulates around the ww boards for a snack or dessert and then stir a portion into my oats in the morning.
      Also curious- have you ever recalculated your NI on your bulgur stew? After I divided mine up I got 9 bowls which brought my NI to around 150 per bowl.
      Thanks Rebecca
