1 cup milk or water

⅓ cup pure pumpkin puree

½ teaspoon cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon each ground ginger and nutmeg, optional

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, milk, pumpkin puree, and spices in a saucepan.

2. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick.

Notes

Double check the can label. Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and spices already mixed in, and using it here will throw off the sweetness of the recipe.
