Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal

Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal made on the stovetop in 10 minutes and served with nuts and dried fruit for a fun and fast fall breakfast. 

After Labor Day, bam, it’s time to eat all things pumpkin. 

This is one social expectation that I am perfectly happy to fulfill, friends. 

For the past few weekends, M and I have been packing up Flora in the car to take her on a Sunday coffee run. 

We’ve been doing a lot of car trips and outings with her in general to “socialize” her to people, places, and things in the outside world! 

Last weekend, she had her first *pup cup*, which she lapped up great enthusiasm and a newfound interest in our coffee cups. 

M tried his first pumpkin spice latte, and I grinned just *smelling* it because it reminds me of being a teenager. 

Many afternoons I walked to Starbucks (about a 40 minute walk if memory serves?), grab a warm drink (read: caffeine), then walk all the way home again.

It felt like a little delicious slice of freedom that I could do before having a driver’s license and a car. 

Another pumpkin highlight to my very adult week was making Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal for a quick and hearty workweek breakfast. 

Lately in the mornings it was actually chilly outside when I asked Flora to “Go Potty!” around 6 AM. 

This Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal is made on the stovetop in 10 minutes and served with nuts and dried fruit for a fun and fast fall breakfast. 

It’s not fall quite yet, but it will be soon! 

What You Need to Make Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal 

My mornings have changed recently here at F&V accommodate the pup, so I need breakfast to be quick and easy!

This Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal comes together quickly with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. 

I don’t know about you, but I already had lots of canned pumpkin from last season.

Check your pantry before stocking up! 

Here’s what you need:

• Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
• unsweetened almond milk
• pumpkin pie spice
• cinnamon
• pumpkin puree
• pure maple syrup

That’s it!

How to Make Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal

Add the oats and unsweetened almond milk to a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

Bring the mixture to a low boil, then stir in the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, pumpkin puree, and pure maple syrup.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the oats for 10-15 minutes until it’s thick and creamy.

Stir the mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Add a splash of almond milk if the mixture gets too dry. 

Bob’s Red Mill Oats

I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats as the main hero of this recipe. 

Lately with life as a new dog mom, I am so grateful that I had my pantry stocked with these oats. 

It’s an easy breakfast that I can whip up while she wolfs down her own breakfast of kibble!

I love that these oats are certified organic and gluten-free with the best hearty flavor and texture.

Because oats + pumpkin = fall perfection. 

Toppings for Pumpkin Stovetop Oats

Here’s what I suggest for toppings:

• toasted nuts (pecans or pepitas)
• dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or dried blueberries)
• Fresh fruit 
• nut butter

That’s it!

How to Serve Pumpkin Stovetop Oatmeal 

Serve the oats warm in a bowl and top with toasted nuts, dried fruit, and optional fresh fruit or nut butter.

(Or your toppings of choice.) 

I love to make this as a quick single-serving workweek breakfast that’s packed with protein and fiber. 

If you’d like to make multiple servings, try doubling or tripling the recipe. 

You can also make this recipe and store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 

To reheat meal-prepped hot oats, add a bit of almond milk and microwave them for 30-60 seconds.

Stir them up until they’re warm and creamy, then add your favorite toppings and serve. 

Enjoy!
