1 cup Rolled Oats The heart of your oatmeal, offering a delightful texture.
2 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy) Adds a creamy richness; for a vegan option, try almond, soy, or oat milk.
1 cup Pumpkin Puree The star ingredient that brings natural sweetness and a vibrant flavor.
1 tsp Cinnamon Infuses warmth and spice; substitute with pumpkin pie spice if desired.
1/4 tsp Nutmeg Enhances the depth of flavor; freshly grated makes a difference.
1 pinch Salt Balances all the flavors beautifully.

In a medium saucepan, mix the rolled oats, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Allow the oatmeal to sit for about one minute to thicken further.
Distribute the oatmeal into bowls and invite toppings like chopped nuts or drizzles of maple syrup.

Always use 100% pure pumpkin puree for authentic flavor. Adjust cooking times for steel-cut oats. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
