  • MILK – this can be any kind you love – 2%, full fat, almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk – whatever you like most (you can also use water, but the result will not be as creamy)
  • OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL – aka rolled oats. Yes, of course you can use quick oatmeal, but I feel like the old fashioned ones are heartier, thicker and have more of a “bite”. You do you, though! Adjust cook time to be less, since quick oats will obviously cook faster. Steel cut oats are also pretty awesome in this, but they do take longer to cook. Check the package for guidelines.
  • PUMPKIN PUREE – for me, this is canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), but if you have harvested, cooked and pureed your own – first of all, you are so fancy and I’m jealous, and second of all – YUM! I use 1/2 cup, but if you REALLY love pumpkin, dial it up!
  • PUMPKIN PIE SPICE – make my pumpkin pie spice recipe, or grab a jar from the store. But really, make my recipe.
  • BROWN SUGAR – you can use any kind of sugar, light, dark, raw, whatever you prefer. That said, brown sugar is SO good in this.
  • SALT – it balances the sweetness, and is definitely not to be left out as salt has the delicious ability to enhance other flavors)

TO MAKE PUMPKIN OATMEAL IN THE MICROWAVE

  1. Add the milk and oats to a large microwave safe bowl. Cook on high until the milk begins to bubble (watch that it doesn’t boil over – cleaning up that mess is no fun at all).
  2. Mix in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice and return to the microwave.
  3. Cook a further 2-3 minutes, then remove and allow to stand for 2 minutes. Top with maple syrup, extra pumpkin pie spice and chopped pecans

FAQs and Kylee’s Notes

  • Add a 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds and boost the fiber!
  • Top with extra milk instead of maple syrup. Depends on how sweet you like your oatmeal!

    I should definitely make it this week – it is such a great way to celebrate the fall! And great tip on using salted butter – using it should make a big difference!

    Okay, first of all, no one needs to wait until September to enjoy anything pumpkin spice. Maybe that makes me one of those “basic white girls,” but I’ve been called worse! 🙂 Secondly, this was fucking delicious! Can I swear here? Oh well! I made this this morning and we loved it! I’m making it again this weekend, and this time, I’m most certainly making a double batch. Wish I could give this 10 stars instead of 5!!
