This creamy Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is a quick and healthy fall breakfast made with rolled oats, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and warm pumpkin pie spice. Dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and ready in just 10 minutes, it’s the perfect cozy breakfast for chilly mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk, soy milk, or other non-dairy milk)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 3/4 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp nutmeg)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or hemp hearts)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the rolled oats. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats start to soften.
  3. Add the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine and simmer for another 2–3 minutes, until creamy and thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and divide into two bowls.
  5. Top with chopped pecans and an extra drizzle of maple syrup for the finishing touch. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of milk just before serving.
  • Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of plant milk to restore texture.
  • Variations: Add chia seeds, flax meal, or hemp hearts for extra nutrition. Stir in dark chocolate chips for a treat, or top with fresh fruit like banana or apple slices.
  • Make it baked: Pour into a baking dish, top with pumpkin seeds, and bake until golden brown for a cozy pumpkin oatmeal bake.
