How to make Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
Into a medium saucepan you’ll add in the water, almond milk, sea salt, Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix and just bring it to a boil. Use a whisk to mix in the spice evenly.
Pumpkin spice swirls…
Looks great already, doesn’t it?? Check out those pretty swirls of pumpkin spice… 😍
Next, whisk in the pumpkin, sugar and vanilla; once you’ve mixed it in, stir in the oats really well (no clumps or lumps here please 🙏) and then simmer away. Leave the pot uncovered while you simmer, and give it a good stir about every minute. Should only take about five minutes or so to finish cooking. I know… it’s hard to wait, the anticipation! So while you and waiting and stirring, take a moment and breathe in the pumpkin spice aroma, mmmmmm….. You’ll know when it’s done as the oats begin to soften and thicken into a creamy, pumpkiny goodness…yuuummmmmmm 😋
Just stirring in a little love…❤
Right before you take it off of the stove, stir in the toasted pecans. Once you remove the pot from the heat, let it stand for a few minutes.
Now get ready for an incredibly decadent bowl of creamy goodness. Are you sure you are ready for this??? OK – go ahead and spoon the Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal into your favorite bowls, garnish with a sweet swirl of maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
Life is good…
Now sit back, relax and enjoy…
