Hello, fellow food lovers! Let me tell you about one of my favorite fall breakfasts, my Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Bowl! I created this recipe on a particularly chilly October morning, when all I wanted was something warm, comforting, and intensely flavorful to start my day. (We’ve all been there, right?). It's a delightful mix of creamy pumpkin, warming spices, and just a touch of sweetness. It's perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra sunshine in your life.
I love this recipe because it's so incredibly versatile. You can easily customize it to your liking. For example, last week, one of my friends added chopped pecans and a drizzle of honey – amazing! It's all about letting your creativity flow in the kitchen. Don't be afraid to experiment; the possibilities are truly endless!
I hope this recipe brings you as much joy as it brings me. That said, if you make this recipe, I’d love to hear about your experience! Tag me on Instagram @WillowCreekKitchen. Feel free to share your photos or ask any questions. Happy cooking!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare your pumpkin puree. You can make your own from scratch, or use store-bought. If you’re making your own, just roast a small pumpkin, scoop out the flesh, and blend until smooth. (Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!).
- Next, in a medium saucepan, combine the milk (any kind you like!), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine all the deliciousness.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Don't let it boil! We want it to gently heat and meld together, not to explode! A simmering pot makes a happy cook.
- Once simmering, add your rolled oats. Stir everything together and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have reached your desired consistency. If it gets too thick, add a splash more milk; if it's too thin, keep simmering for a bit longer.
- While the oats are cooking, prepare your toppings! You can chop up some nuts, get out your favorite spices, or even whip up some coconut cream. This adds a lovely touch, and looks sooo fancy!
- Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Now the fun part: pour your oatmeal into a bowl, and top with all your delicious and delightful additions!
- Enjoy your super yummy and heartwarming Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Bowl! Seriously, you'll feel warm and cozy inside. (It's almost like magic!)
📝 Notes
- For a creamier oatmeal, use a blend of milk and cream.
- If you don’t have maple syrup, honey or agave nectar works well too.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your liking. I personally love a lot of pumpkin pie spice!
