With all the flavors of pumpkin pie stirred into a creamy bowl of oatmeal, this quick and easy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal is our favorite fall oatmeal.
It’s hard to beat a hot fragrant breakfast that can be on the table in less than 15 minutes.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal
We enjoy topping our bowls of oatmeal with a swirl of freshly whipped cream to make it even more like pumpkin pie.
The whole family enjoys this oatmeal and the kids have requested this again every single day this week; I think I’m safe to say that it is a hit.
It’s been ten years since we first made pumpkin spice oatmeal and this is still my middle son’s favorite oatmeal. He happily makes this oatmeal throughout the year.
There’s nothing better than having a terrific breakfast that the kids can make on their own. Especially when they make enough to share with me.

Tracy says
Can I use instant oatmeal instead of rolled oats?
Mary Younkin says
You could but you will want to adjust the cooking times and the amount of liquid, Tracy.
Fran says
This was absolutely delicious.. although I added a little more brown sugar at the end cuz I like it a little sweeter. I did not have any whipped cream but I would suggest if you’re going to do whipped cream to use fresh whipped cream The airy stuff is just not going to cut it. I had two huge bowls of it I cut the recipe in half cuz I’m only one person.![5 stars](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhAQABAPAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAEACAkQBADs=)

Fresh whip cream is a great suggestion, Fran. Nothing really compares to it.
