    Ingredients

    • Pumpkin: Ideally, use a pumpkin that's in season. All types work well here.
    • Pumpkin pie spice: Either store-bought or DIY.
    • Rolled oats: They provide a chewy texture, plus fiber and healthy carbs!
    • Coconut milk: Use light coconut milk for the best result. Or use another plant milk instead, such as soy milk.
    • Sweetener of choice: We love honey or maple syrup, but you can use regular sugar instead.
    • Protein powder: To make this meal complete and filling. Optional.
    • Toppings: We love to top this pumpkin pie oatmeal with different nuts and seeds, as well as a caramelized banana.

    How to make it

    Start by simmering chopped pumpkin with coconut milk in a pot. Once soft, use a potato masher to mash the pumpkin until a pure is formed.

    Then add pumpkin spice and oats, and continue cooking until the oats are soft.

    Remove from the heat and add protein powder (optional), plus maple syrup or honey.

    Serve into bowls, add some toppings of choice, and voilà. You are ready to go!

    Storage Tips

    • Fridge: Let the oatmeal cool to room temperature. Transfer to a covered container and save in a fridge for 4-5 days.
    • Freezer: Let the oatmeal cool to room temperature. Transfer to a covered container and save in a freezer for up to 6 months.
    • Re-heat: In a microwave for 1-2 minutes, or on a stovetop for 5-10 minutes.

    Expert Tips

    • Use rolled oats, instead of quick-cooking or steel-cut oats. They provide a chewier texture, which I think works great in this pumpkin pie oatmeal.
    • Use canned pumpkin to make this recipe faster! If you don't have time to cook your own pumpkin, just skip that part and use a canned one instead.
    • Add your favorite topping! Oatmeal is so much with some toppings, so be generous here!

    Equipment

    • Stovetop

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cup cubed pumpkin, peeled
    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • 1 cup coconut milk or any plant milk you like
    • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
    • 1-2 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or sweetener other of choice
    • 1-2 tablespoon protein powder of choice (optional)
    • 1 banana, pan-fried* (optional)
    • A handful of walnuts (optional)
    • 2 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
    • Small handful of pumpkin seeds (optional)

    Instructions

    • To a medium pot, add coconut milk and chopped pumpkin. Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
    • Use a potato masher to carefully mash the pumpkin in the coconut milk, until a pure is formed.
    • Then add pumpkin spice and oats. Continue cooking for about 5-10 minutes or until the oats are cooked. Add a few splashes of milk if needed.
    • Remove from heat. Add honey and protein powder and mix well (optional).
    • Serve in a bowl and add toppings of choice. We went with pan-fried banana, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds (all optional).
    • Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 1 month.

    Notes

    To pan-fry bananas, simply heat 1 tablespoon of oil (we use coconut oil) on a skillet. Slice the bananas in the middle and let them fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. Optional to sprinkle some brown/coconut sugar on each side before frying to allow caramelization.

        Hi Tom! One serving has 271 calories. I've calculated it with 1 tbsp of honey and without the optional ingredients. The recipe makes two servings. Hope that helps!

        Hi Jade, the pumpkin needs to be cut into cubes, then simmered with milk to soften it, before mashing it into a puree. This is if you don't have pumpkin puree on hand. In case you do have a can of pumpkin puree, you can add a few tablespoons of that and skip step 1 and 2, and add everything into a pot instead. Hope that helps!
