What better way to start a chilly October morning than with a nice, hot bowl of Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal?! This delicious fall comfort food is made even more comforting with pumpkin pie spices, pumpkin puree, cranberries (optional) and brown sugar. If you really want to impress the kids, top with whipped cream so they actually think they are getting pumpkin pie for breakfast!
This is as simple as making regular oatmeal, just… yummier!
My kids (10,7 and 3) love this oatmeal, as do I. It’s become apart of our weekly breakfast repertoire during the fall months. Not only is it healthy, gluten free, and will keep your tummy full, but it’s easy to make too!
