This pumpkin spice oatmeal is absolutely perfect for fall and so simple to make.  Morning time is crazy- I totally get it- but this oatmeal is so comforting and just slightly sweet and a perfect way to start the day.    This recipe is 10 minutes from start to running out the door, mason jar in hand, so give it a shot and see what you think!

We have had marathon soccer weekends lately and I have been making a batch of this in the morning and this recipe makes a perfect serving size for myself and both my girls.

A few notes about this recipe.  I prefer a very slightly sweet oatmeal.  If you want more sweetness to your oats just add a bit more maple syrup or brown sugar.  I do generously sprinkle with brown sugar for the kids and I like to add a bit more milk when serving.

This recipe makes about 2 large servings of oatmeal.  You can cut it in half or you can place the cooled oatmeal in a mason jar or Tupperware and save for another day.  I do find this oatmeal gets just a tiny bit gummy when reheated so I like to add a bit more liquid after microwaving- either maple syrup or milk.

You can experiment with spices- I like just cinnamon but pumpkin pie spice or a little nutmeg or allspice would also be lovely.

If you decide to give this recipe a shot, please come back and let me know what you think!
