Equipment

Saucepan

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
3 cups of milk
Almonds optional
4 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
8 packs Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal
8 tablespoons raw cane sugar
salt according to taste

Instructions

Begin by cooking the pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat for approximately 3-4 minutes. This step helps to eliminate excess water and intensify the pumpkin flavor.
Pour in milk and stir well with the pumpkin puree, then increase the heat to high until it reaches a rolling boil.
Once boiling, add in 8 packets of Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal and mix thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the oatmeal simmer for 5-6 minutes while stirring occasionally. This process allows the oatmeal to fully absorb all the flavors and thicken up.
Add maple syrup and pumpkin spice after about 5 minutes of simmering, then mix well to incorporate.
Remove from heat once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve in bowls and top with any desired toppings such as sliced almonds or extra maple syrup.

Notes

For a creamier oatmeal, use a 1:2 ratio of pumpkin puree to milk.
You can also make this oatmeal in a slow cooker by adding all the ingredients (except for toppings) to the crockpot and cooking on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1 hour.
For added protein, you can stir in some Greek yogurt or add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the oatmeal.
