Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk of choice , plus extra for serving
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, chia seeds, spice, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, water, milk, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and stir often so the oats don't stick to the bottom of the pan. It will take roughly 5 minutes to thicken.
- Season to taste, adding more maple syrup if desired. Serve with your favorite toppings, and a splash of extra milk, if you'd like a looser oatmeal texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
Nutrition information is for half the batch, using only 2 tablespoons of maple syrup total. This information is calculated from an online ingredient database, so it's an estimate, not a guarantee.
Oatmeal Note: If you use quick-cooking oats, the oatmeal will be ready in less than 5 minutes. This recipe is very adaptable, so feel free to use what you have on hand!

Update Note: This recipe was updated in January 2026 to double the recipe, because I prefer to have leftovers if I'm going to put in the effort. You can make just half if you prefer!
