Pumpkin spice oatmeal is the perfect fall breakfast! It has all of the classic pumpkin pie flavors, but this pumpkin pie oatmeal is much healthier for you.

As soon as the leaves start changing, I’m all about all the fall flavors. Apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, apple cider – all the fall flavors are heavenly. I love them to the point that I want to have them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That’s what I love about this pumpkin spice oatmeal recipe – I basically get to enjoy pumpkin pie for breakfast (and I get to use up my leftover pumpkin puree, win-win)!

The toppings are all optional (technically). My favorite way to serve this is with a pile of chopped pecans, a drizzle of maple syrup, and (if I’m really wanting the pie experience) a little whipped cream.

I highly recommend using my DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice mix for this recipe. I’ve been using it for all of my fall recipes and it’s so much better than store-bought!

If you love all things pumpkin and all things oatmeal, you’ve got to try my Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats! They’re healthy, delicious, and make the easiest fall breakfast.

What you’ll need:

You’ll need three ingredients and one tool to make this recipe.

The first ingredient you’ll need is good pumpkin puree. I love this brand, and it’s such an insanely good value! Really, you can’t beat this quality or price anywhere.

The second ingredient you need is oatmeal. This is the brand I use and I absolutely love it.

The third ingredient you need is maple syrup. I’m a believer in using quality maple syrup because you can really taste the difference. This brand is delicious and a great value.

  • 1-2 packed Tablespoons light brown sugar (depending on taste preference)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for topping)
