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 enjoysΒ 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.

This Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal is another favorite that my boys would happily eat this every single morning if I made it that often. Steel cut oatmeal is another great breakfast for fall mornings.

This is soooo yummy. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. We love pumpkin everything in our house.
Thanks for the recipe, I enjoy oats a lot and your recipe will even make me love oats the more. It looks soo yummy!
This recipes sounds delicious and I plan to try it in the crock pot. Can you tell me the name of the china pattern of this adorable bowl? Thanks!
Can you save leftover on this if so how long
I love oatmeal and I love pumpkin, so had to try this. It is absolutely scrumptious and a bit healthier than eating pumpkin pie. I’ve always cooked enough oatmeal for five days and put it into one serving microwave safe bowls. With a bit of milk or water stirred in, it heats up great and so much better than that instant stuff. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Your link to the whipped cream in the pumpkin oatmeal recipe is broken
So I used this recipe after searching your site.

Made this for my kids, they love it. This is definitely a keeper.
For pumkin pie oatmea with no vanilla whipped cream-How many serving does it make? How many calories, fats, carbs,protein & fiber?
Can you make this in a slow cooker?
I’ve never tried that myself, but it should work fine. I’d expect it to cook in 60-90 minutes.
What can you substitute for the milk?
This oatmeal can also be made with water.
I made this recipe substituing with almond milk. Turned out great!
Made this tonight to meal prep some breakfasts for healthy eating and what a treat!! I usually don’t like too many oatmeals except for one with added honey and peanut butter but this one is delicious! Will be making often. I did cut the recipe in half since I knew my hubby wouldn’t eat it with pumpkin and it still made enough to last for days!
Can this be adapted for quick oats? My grocery store doesn’t stock rolled oats.
Sure you can. The oatmeal will cook faster, so watch it closely.
I did it with quick oats and it took about 3 minutes.
Has anyone ever tried this using quick cooking steel cut oats? I would imagine the cooking time and maybe the liquid ingredients need to be adjusted ?
This is my question as well. Did you try it?
Looks so good. I love anything pumpkin…thanks so much for sharing…
Delicious!
Can you do this eith wuick oats and in the fridge overnite
Just made this in the crockpot- I worried a bit that it would get to soggy with rolled outs but on high the liquid absorbed just fine in about 1hr15mins. I only used 1/4c brown sugar and its still lightly sweet- perfect for us. Great recipe and I will be freezing in muffin pans and then throw an oatmeal muffin in a ziploc or container to zap at work
Can you do this in a crock pot?
