This Pumpkin Spice Fall Oatmeal with Apples and Pecans is a warm, comforting breakfast perfect for cozy autumn mornings. Made with creamy oats cooked in pumpkin puree and spiced with classic pumpkin pie spice, it’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and topped with crunchy toasted pecans and fresh diced apples for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Oatmeal Base

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk or non-dairy milk of choice
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt

Sweeteners and Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (plus more to taste)
  • ½ cup toasted pecans
  • 1 small sweet apple (diced)

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids and pumpkin: In a small saucepan, mix together the milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until well incorporated.
  2. Add oats and cook: Stir in the old-fashioned oats, then place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. Season and sweeten: Remove the oatmeal from heat and stir in a pinch of salt. Add maple syrup to taste, adjusting sweetness as desired.
  4. Serve and garnish: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with toasted pecans and diced sweet apples for a delightful crunch and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the whole milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • For homemade pumpkin puree, roast and puree fresh pumpkin until smooth.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice based on your preferred spice intensity.
  • To toast pecans, dry roast them in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor complexity.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of milk.
