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.

Top your bowl of pumpkin pie oatmeal with whipped cream and transform your breakfast into something absolutely craveable.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Recipe

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly until the oatmeal has thickened.
Remove from the heat, portion into serving bowls, and top with whipped cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Once you’ve mixed up your jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice, and stashed a few cans of pumpkin puree in the pantry, you’ll be ready to make this anytime you crave it.

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.

Spiced pear oatmeal full of rolled oats, cooked pears, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter is a weekday breakfast delight.

For a few more hearty breakfasts that will start your day right, try these Ham and Cheese Waffles. (They freeze beautifully for quick breakfast reheats!) This Easy Breakfast Casserole and this Bacon Gruyere Quiche are great breakfast options too.

Last but definitely not least, you’ll want to try this Pecan Praline French Toast Bake for the ultimate weekend treat.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook over medium -ow heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly until the oatmeal has thickened.
Remove from the heat, portion into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer creamier oatmeal, stir in a splash more milk to adjust the consistency. If you have oatmeal leftover, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The oatmeal will thicken in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove and add a bit more milk as needed to thin it out.
