Who doesn’t love a cozy pumpkin oatmeal on a crisp fall morning? This whips up instantly in under 10 minutes and tastes like Thanksgiving pie for breakfast!

Since pumpkin breakfasts are pretty much a staple in our home on weekends during fall (as I can prove with my super-popular pumpkin waffles or these amazing pumpkin pancakes), adding pumpkin puree to our oatmeal has quickly become a new favorite.

This oatmeal is gluten free (if using all certified gf ingredients; especially make sure to buy certified gf oats!) and made on the stovetop with rolled oats, dried cranberries (or substitute raisins), milk (pick your favorite to make it skinny or even vegan), maple syrup and pumpkin purée. It’s really just my basic oatmeal recipe, with a few extras thrown in.

Ingredient swaps

Alternative spices

If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice mix, just use whatever fall-inspired spices you do have. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves… Or make your own pumpkin pie spice!

Other ingredient swaps

For the milk, use whatever you have on hand or what you like best! I used organic whole milk.

If you don’t like cranberries, use raisins. Or use nothing at all, your call. And instead of pecans, walnuts work
really well, too. I leave out the nuts and extra cranberries for my toddler though.

Serving size

Please note that the recipe is written to serve 2!

I chose this so it would be super easy and convenient to half it if you’re making it just for yourself, or to multiply it for a larger family.
