This oatmeal tastes a little like pumpkin pie. You could get more of a pie flavor experience by adding more sweetener and topping with whipped cream. But as written, this recipe keeps the sugar content fairly low while still bringing a pumpkin pie sensation to mind. It took about 10 minutes to make. Bottom Line: Easy & pleasing, but does taste a bit healthy. (This recipe was submitted in 2008. It was tested and photographed in November 2014.)





How To Make Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring the milk and water to a gentle boil. Add the oats, reduce heat low and simmer for 8 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.

Stir in the pumpkin, almonds, maple syrup (or brown sugar), cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and optional raisins.

Transfer to a serving bowl.





Cooking Notes:

In place of the sliced almonds, also try chopped pecans or walnuts

For a final garnish, sprinkle with a additional brown sugar and chopped nuts.

Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, you could use a nice-sized pinch of pumpkin pie spice.


This oatmeal is so good when you serve it with a little whipped cream or low fat ice cream on top - just like you'd have on pumpkin pie. Enjoy!

We made this for Swedish Thanksgiving and it was outstanding! We added more cinnamon, brown sugar, dried cranberries, and extra syrup, but it was a great base recipe.

You need to add twice as much of everything 'cause this is only like half a serving.
