Though I am a morning person, waking up early becomes a challenge even for me on chilly mornings when the blanket becomes too cozy to leave. Having something to look forward to in the morning makes it easier.

For me, the time that I get to spend alone with my diary and a glass of hot water or tea is one such thing that motivates me to wake up early.

The second thing is a tasty and comforting breakfast that could get ready within minutes.

Today's recipe- Pumpkin oatmeal is one such easy and healthy breakfast recipe that I love having on a cold morning.

It gets ready within 15 minutes and needs only 7 basic ingredients.

Ingredients required to make Pumpkin Oatmeal

Ingredients for pumpkin oatmeal on a grey surface

This simple pumpkin oatmeal recipe needs only 7 ingredients:

  1. Rolled oats
  2. Pumpkin puree: Home-made/ canned
  3. Milk: Dairy/ Plant-based
  4. Pumpkin spice
  5. Maple syrup/ honey/ brown sugar/ any other sweetener
  6. Salt: Helps in balancing all the flavors
  7. Chopped nuts and dried fruits

Type of oats to be used

Use whichever variety you prefer or is available to you. However, the amount of time required to make the recipe and the quantity of milk will change with the type of oats you are using.

I have used rolled oats as I love their chewiness. Also, because they get cooked quickly but unlike quick oats, they retain their shape and don't turn mushy very quickly.

How to make it in a microwave

If you want to make Pumpkin oatmeal in a microwave, just put oats and milk in a microwave-proof dish and Cook for about a minute. 

Add all the remaining ingredients, mix, and cook in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes or until the oats are cooked.

Topping suggestions

Make you delicious pumpkin oatmeal even tastier with one or more toppings mentioned below:

  • Caramelized sugar-cinnamon pumpkin cubes 
  • Chopped nuts and dried fruits
  • Fresh fruits or berries
  • Chocolate chips/ grated chocolate
  • Peanut butter/ any other nut butter
  • Maple syrup/ honey
  • Pumpkin spice/ cinnamon powder

Here, I have garnished the oatmeal with golden raisins, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon to maintain the beautiful golden color of my breakfast bowl.
