I love oatmeal and I love pumpkin, so naturally I am a huge fan of pumpkin flavored oats.
They both taste so good on a chilly morning, so you can only imagine how delicious the combination of the two will be.
You will notice that I like to stir some egg whites into the oats towards the end of cooking. Not only does this add a bit of extra protein, but it makes the oats extra rich and creamy. Just be sure that you add them in slowly, so that they don’t scramble. And of course, you also have the option of skipping them all together.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup egg whites optional
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- few dashes cinnamon + pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Ingredients
- 1 cup dry rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup egg whites optional
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- few dashes cinnamon + pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, water and salt in a small saucepan. Stir and bring up to a boil before reducing to a simmer and cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed the water and look nice and creamy.
- Turn the heat to low and then stir in the pumpkin puree and slowly add the egg whites (if using). You want to be sure to go slowly and stir as you go so that the egg whites dont get too hot and end up scrambled. They should make your oatmeal super creamy.
- Cook for another a couple more minutes and then stir in your raisins and male syrup. Once everything is heated through serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Note: I love topping this oatmeal with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a few extra raisins and some walnuts.

Hi Dani,
For those of us newbs at cooking.. about how much is “a few dashes” I can’t wait to try this but I am a lot better with exact measurements. 🙂
Dani says
I would say about 1/8th teaspoon 🙂

Hi Dani, I’ve noticed that the recipe for the pumpkin oatmeal recipe as viewed on youtube is different from the recipe that’s posted on your site online. Both the ingredients and proportions, ie 1 cup of water vs 1 and 1/2 almond milk. Since I like to print recipes for future use do you have the recipes as posted on youtube on your site as well. Thank you.
P.S I can’t wait to make these muffins tonight.
Dani says
Hi Peter! Sorry for any confusion – unfortunately I don’t the other recipe on my site right now (but will try to add soon!).

I grow and process my own Dickinson pumpkins and I was looking for recipes and found yours. So yummy! One question… sometimes I am oblivious, but how many servings does this make?
Thank you,
Monique
Dani says
Hi Monique! How cool that you have home grown pumpkins! This recipe makes two servings 🙂
