It’s hard to beat a hot fragrant breakfast that can be on the table in less than 15 minutes.

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

We enjoy topping our bowls of oatmeal with a swirl of freshly whipped cream to make it even more like pumpkin pie.

The whole family enjoys this oatmeal and the kids have requested this again every single day this week; I think I’m safe to say that it is a hit. It’s been ten years since we first made pumpkin spice oatmeal and this is still my middle son’s favorite oatmeal. He happily makes this oatmeal throughout the year. There’s nothing better than having a terrific breakfast that the kids can make on their own. Especially when they make enough to share with me.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Recipe

Once you’ve mixed up your jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice, and stashed a few cans of pumpkin puree in the pantry, you’ll be ready to make this anytime you crave it. Are you looking for more breakfast ideas? Check out all of our Oatmeal Recipes. This Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal is another favorite that my boys would happily eat this every single morning if I made it that often. Steel cut oatmeal is another great breakfast for fall mornings. Spiced pear oatmeal full of rolled oats, cooked pears, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter is a weekday breakfast delight. For a few more hearty breakfasts that will start your day right, try these Ham and Cheese Waffles. (They freeze beautifully for quick breakfast reheats!) This Easy Breakfast Casserole and this Bacon Gruyere Quiche are great breakfast options too. Last but definitely not least, you’ll want to try this Pecan Praline French Toast Bake for the ultimate weekend treat. {originally published 9/25/13 – notes and photos updated 11/9/22}
