If you want to wake up to a delicious-smelling house with hints of fall (hello, pumpkin spice!)\u2014and a bowl of hot oatmeal\u2014mix these ingredients in a slow cooker before you go to bed. There&#8217;s a reason we named this one among our top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pumpkin-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pumpkin-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pumpkin breakfast recipes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Even with the sweet notes, thanks to the pumpkin, this is a healthy recipe. In fact, studies show that high-in-fiber steel cut oats help to reduce cholesterol. The oats are also a good ingredient for diabetics who want a hearty breakfast without raising their blood sugar, because they&#8217;re a low-glycemic index food.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pumpkin Oatmeal<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pumpkin:<\/strong> This is the same can of pumpkin puree you buy to bake pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. You\u2019ll need one can, which is typically 15 ounces, for this pumpkin oatmeal recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steel-cut oats:<\/strong> The reason you want <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">steel-cut oats<\/a> and not rolled outs is that they&#8217;re dense and cooked with a lighter ratio of liquid. Once they\u2019re cooked, the portions are large.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar: <\/strong>Brown sugar should be packed and not loose when measured, so that you have the exact amount needed. This also removes air pockets. In oatmeal, brown sugar has a molasses-like effect, acting as a sweetener.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pumpkin pie spice: <\/strong>Sold in the spice aisle, this blend includes cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground cinnamon:<\/strong> Use cinnamon in a spice jar, not a cinnamon stick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> In this recipe, 2% milk\u2014which is reduced-fat, but not fat-free\u2014works best. It\u2019s a healthier milk while also containing a little bit of fat, which helps this recipe be successful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional toppings: <\/strong>Toasted chopped pecans and ground cinnamon, plus additional brown sugar and milk, can be added atop finished bowls of oatmeal, as you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Directions\u202f<\/span><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Step 1: Combine the ingredients<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2039893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pumpkin-Oatmeal_TOHD24_172672_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Pumpkin Oatmeal recipe photo of mixing all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, oats, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt.

Just make sure, whether it\u2019s in the fridge or the freezer, that it\u2019s in an airtight container with a lid or cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Can you freeze pumpkin oatmeal?<\/span><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">If you envision having this on mornings when you don\u2019t have time to make breakfast but still want something hot and delicious, there\u2019s a solution. Bake the oatmeal all the way through, then after it has cooled, freeze it in a muffin tin. After it\u2019s frozen solid, move the oatmeal portions to a resealable freezer bag. Frozen oatmeal lasts for three months in the freezer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How long does pumpkin oatmeal last?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">If it&#8217;s stored in the fridge in the slow cooker with a lid or in another covered container, the oatmeal stays fresh for five days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make pumpkin oatmeal ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f; font-weight: normal;\">Because this recipe is already designed to be made the night before, the good news is that you\u2019re already set with less prep!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat pumpkin oatmeal?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Once you remove the oatmeal from the fridge, spoon however much you plan to eat into a bowl and pop it in the microwave for a minute on high.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Pumpkin Oatmeal Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2039896\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pumpkin-Oatmeal_TOHD24_172672_EricKleinberg_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Pumpkin Oatmeal recipe photo of the finsihed oatmeal served into bowls.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">What\u2019s a healthier sweetener than maple syrup?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-agave-nectar\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-agave-nectar\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Agave nectar<\/a> is a natural sweetener derived from the agave plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Can I make this dairy-free?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">Absolutely! Swapping out the 2% milk for a plant-based milk (soy, cashew, hemp, almond, oat or coconut) won\u2019t change the flavor at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can I increase the pumpkin flavor?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\">While the recipe calls for a 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree, if that\u2019s not adding enough pumpkin flavor to your oatmeal, simply increase the amount. We don\u2019t recommend adding more than a quarter of a can more to the recipe, however. Too much pumpkin might make the finished oatmeal mushy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s better than waking up to a bowl of warm oatmeal?
