Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, shredded coconut, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until everything is well blended.

    Cook the Oats: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow it to simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal becomes creamy.

      Check Consistency: After cooking, assess the oatmeal's thickness. If it's too thick for your liking, stir in an additional splash of almond milk until you reach your preferred creamy consistency.

        Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully ladle the oatmeal into bowls, ensuring each serving is ample and inviting.

          Add Toppings: Personalize your dish by adding your favorite toppings such as crunchy chopped nuts, plump raisins, shredded coconut, or a generous dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess and flavor.

            Enjoy: Serve the oatmeal warm and indulge in the delightful autumn-inspired flavors that make for a perfect breakfast treat!
