Well, one wouldn’t refer “slathering Libby’s pumpkin puree on toast, sprinkled with chopped pecans” as a gourmet recipe. What the heck, it was just too delish! Food doesn’t have to be so complicated with long list of ingredients to be tasteful, right? It’s just another excuse for me to break into pumpkin. I am so looking forward to fall weather. Yummy bowls of hot oatmeals. Not the regular plain bowl of oatmeal’s we grew up eating. Thanks to the endless array of toppings that transforms my boring oats, to something I look forward to every day.
Hot Pumpkin Oats
If you love pumpkin + oats, please oh please try this combo. I promise you, it would change your life forever.
Adapted from KathEats.com
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 heaping tbsp pumpkin puree – my favorite is Libby’s
- 1 /2 tsp pumpkin spice
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For glorious toppings..
The possibilities are endless, ranging from seeds, nuts, coconut, drizzle of nut butters or sweeteners such as honey, agave etc.
Directions:
- Heat a saucepan over medium, and combine in oats, milk & water.
- Stir every now and then till oats fully absorbs liquid.
- Once the oats are at your desired consistency, turn off heat or it would bubble over and burn.
- Stir in pumpkin spice, salt & vanilla extract.
- Serve hot or cold with your favorite toppings! The photo above had sunflower seeds, pecans, coconut chips, a drizzle of honey and a healthy tbsp of chocolate peanut butter.
Oh yeah 🙂
Am I safe to report that the pants don’t fit me anymore? That’s what I call a delicious and satisfying breakfast. Definitely keeps me full for hours, and tames my sweet tooth.
I usually have my breakfast with a side of fruits. That counts as healthy breakfast, right?
I think so.
Coupled with almond milk iced coffee. Wow. A deadly albeit delicious breakfast combo.
Some of my oatmeal creations over the time:
Do you love hot oats? What are your fall cravings?
If you don’t love hot oats, perhaps these creations might tickle your fancy? And if you haven’t notice already, I have a huge liking for strawberries. Seriously. A lot. I am going to miss you summer, but ’em so ready for Fall 😀

Kiran,
This looks so deliciously healthy and I think your oatmeal creation is second to none! Uncle Toby’s here in Australia can use a food consultant like you! Also, I would be hard pressed to choose between your creations an a more unhealthy bacon, eggs, sausages which is my fave!

Wow Kiran that looks delicious. Must try soon! I don’t really have a sweet tooth. I prefer hot savory stuff for breakfast. it’s probably because it’s cold here 8 months of the year. Believe me, we’re already wearing hats, scarves & coats! This fall, I’m lookin forward to lots of hot hot hot ‘leftover dinners for breakfast’!!!
Perfect way to start breakfast..Love the addition of pumpkin puree here as well as that there is no sugar..something to rave abt!
