Pumpkin Oatmeal Mash

A cozy, lightly-sweet bowl of creamy pumpkin oatmeal mash infused with warm spices—perfect for a nourishing fall breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for extra fiber)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts, for topping
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries or raisins, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats and flaxseed. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mash is thick and creamy, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Taste and add an extra splash of maple syrup if you prefer more sweetness.
  5. Spoon the pumpkin oatmeal mash into bowls and top with chopped pecans and dried cranberries.
  6. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap almond milk for oat or soy milk for a creamier texture.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost.
  • Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
  • For a thinner consistency, stir in additional milk just before serving.
