  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

  • Heat over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Be sure to stir the oats several times while cooking to make sure the oats don't stick to the pot. You’ll know the oatmeal is done when all the liquid is absorbed and the oats are thick and fluffy.
