Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 3/4 cups almond milk (470 milliliters)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (85 grams)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (60 milliliters)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine pumpkin, oats, maple syrup, chocolate chips, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and almond milk in a large saucepan, creating a rich autumn-inspired base.
- Heat the mixture over medium temperature, stirring consistently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking for approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Watch for the oatmeal to transform into a creamy, thickened consistency, with oats becoming tender and soft.
- Once the texture reaches a smooth, porridge-like state, remove the saucepan from the heat source.
- Infuse the warm mixture with vanilla extract, stirring gently to distribute the aromatic flavor throughout the oatmeal.
- Transfer the pumpkin oatmeal to serving bowls, allowing the chocolate chips to slightly melt and create delightful pockets of sweetness.
- Garnish with additional chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, then serve immediately while the dish remains warm and comforting.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with dairy or oat milk to suit different dietary preferences.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Reduce maple syrup for a less sweet version or use honey as an alternative sweetener.
- Experiment with different spices like ginger or cardamom to enhance the warm fall flavors.
