Delicious! I always make on the stove. Cook oats in milk or water 3 minutes then add pumpkin puree and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ground ginger) for last two minutes. I also love when mixed with coconut, cranberries, hazelnuts or walnuts. My FAVORITE, healthy, filling breakfast.

I really loved this! I left out the sugar (but did put plenty of cinnamon, and a little nutmeg), and added maple extract and vanilla extract for added sweetness (maybe a Tbsp. of each). I had a few Craisins laying around, so I added those to the mix, as well as some unsweetened coconut flakes. I finished it all by topping with pecans. Thought this made for a wonderful breakfast. Great flavor, great texture, and totally nutritious. :) Thank you!

This was very bland. I doubled the pumpkin pie spice and the cinnamon sugar and it was still tasteless. Won't make this again.

A new thanksgiving morning tradition! We topped with pecans and brown sugar ... yum. A touch of salt would help I think.

Sorry, but this just didn't work for us. I followed the recipe exactly but it was just too bland.

This is a great recipe, but needed a little tweaking for me. Since I am eating for one, I always make a single serving with 1/2c. old fashioned oats, 1c. water (sometimes I add milk after, but I like to cook with water), 1/2 banana instead of sugar to boost sweetness, 1/3 c. canned pumpkin, and about a 1/4 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice with a little extra dash of cinnamon. Made this way, I get a nice hearty, and flavorful oatmeal!

Excellent recipe. Love the concept. I always add a little more pumpkin and spices tough. I also add some cut up bananas or fresh strawberries and nuts sometimes. It adds a little pizzaz:)

I added ALOT to this to make it taste like more than oatmeal with raw pumpkin. I added extra pp spice, cinnamon, salt, raisins and honey. It is now just ok and I really like pumpkin things.

I love pumpkin and was very excited to try this. First off, I made this one the stove top; my older son and I thought it was ok but, my younger child did not care for it; so I tweaked it. I added a bit of salt (to taste) and I used brown sugar instead of the cinammon/sugar combo and I used soy milk just because my family likes soy milk better. After this, my baby liked it much better and my older son said it brought out the pumpkin flavor; thank you.
