Oatmeal that tastes like pumpkin pie? Yes please!
In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m kind of hooked on the whole “pumpkin spice” theme right now. You can click here to see a list of all my pumpkin recipes, including syrups, lattes, and pancakes.
I love this oatmeal topped with some Pumpkin Spice Syrup. Yum!
If you don’t feel like buying pumpkin pie spice, there are plenty of recipes online for how to mix up your own.
Â
You can find this recipe in my cookbook, Necessary Food.
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats (gluten free if necessary)
- 1 cup liquid (water, unsweetened almond milk/carton coconut milk [nut free], or a combination)
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- 2-3 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (a doonk is 1/32 tsp.)
- ¼ cup plain pumpkin puree
- ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- Optional toppings: a squirt of fat free Reddi-Whip (not dairy free) and/or some Pumpkin Spice Syrup
- There are a couple of ways you can do this:
- Mix all ingredients together the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, heat in the microwave for 3-4 minutes and enjoy warm. Or if you forget to mix it together the night before, just mix all the ingredients together and microwave in the morning (you'll just miss out on the benefits of soaking your oats overnight).
- *or* Mix all the ingredients PLUS a rounded ¼ tsp. of glucomannan together the night before and refrigerate overnight. Eat cold in the morning. This version has a more pudding-like feel.
- *or* For more volume, increase the liquid to 1½ cups. Microwave for 4 minutes the night before. Let the oatmeal sit in the microwave for 5 minutes (omit this step for a thinner oatmeal). Refrigerate overnight and eat cold in the morning.
Here’s my Pumpkin Spice Syrup recipe.

THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder is available from the Trim Healthy Mama online store.
Could you make several of these at once and eat them all week? Would the oats become over-saturated by the end of the week?
I’m not sure – I’ve never tried that! I imagine they’d get a bit soggy. Maybe you could make containers of the dry ingredients ahead of time and then just add the wet ingredients the night before? That would save a little time. If you’re looking for make ahead breakfasts, maybe you’d like to try some baked oatmeal. That’s one of my favorite things to make ahead and keep in the fridge! Here’s a pumpkin chip version: https://www.briana-thomas.com/pumpkin-chip-baked-oatmeal/
Hi Briana, This looks so tasty! I would love to surprise my husband with this for breakfast tomorrow. I was wondering, can this work successfully if made for several people and cooked up on the stove? If so, how long would it need to cook? Thanks.
I’ve never tried that so I’m not sure what the cooking time would be, but I’m sure it would work! You may want to add the sweetener toward the end of cooking when the oats are mostly soft, since sweetness can dissipate with cooking.
Briana, I really enjoyed this recipe. It was very yummy. My boys approved with two thumbs up as well. We will be keeping this in our morning breakfast rotation. I am looking forward to trying your ice cream recipes. I ordered the glycerine so I can get started. I love Moose Tracks!
Do you have nutritional information that you coild list pleaae?
Hi there! I follow a healthy eating lifestyle called “Trim Healthy Mama”, which centers around eating healthy foods and separating carbs and fats into different meals to speed up the metabolism. Counting is not required on THM, so I embrace that and don’t count nutrition facts in my recipes. However, you’re welcome to put the recipe into an app like MyFitnessPal to check and see whether it would fit into the particular lifestyle you’re following. 🙂
sounds delicious….where is the protein source? i guess i am missing it somewhere?? for your banana overnight oatmeal, which is my favorite, i top with cottage cheese… can i do the same for this?
Sure, the cottage cheese is a great idea. Oatmeal actually has some protein of its own (6g per serving), so it’s not required that you add any additional protein.
I made this last night- it was so good! I was using Truvia, and the conversion chart said that it would be 4 t of it. It was a tad sweet for me, so I made it again tonight and put in 3. Thanks for such an (other) awesome recipe!
I’m going to try this! It sounds and looks delicious! 🙂
this looks like the perfect fall breakfast if you ask me!
Oh my, Briana – this is exactly what I’ve been looking for – thank you!!!
