Ingredients You’ll Need 

Here’s a list to get started. Most of these are pantry staples!Ā 

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oatsĀ 
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)Ā 
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix!)Ā 
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)Ā 
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamonĀ 
  • ¼ tsp each of cloves, nutmeg, and ginger
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional)Ā 
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds (for toasting!)Ā 
  • A Pinch of saltĀ 
  • Optional toppings: apple chunks, a sprinkle of cinnamon, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of almond butter

Instructions

1. Toast Your Almonds 

  • Start by toasting the almonds to bring out their nutty flavor. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sliced almonds.
  • Stir in the almonds until they are golden for 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them! Set them aside.

2. Make the Pumpkin Oats 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine your gluten-free oats, almond milk, and pumpkin puree. 
  • Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and a pinch of salt.Ā 
  • Over medium heat, simmer the oats mixture then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the oats are soft and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can stir in a splash of warm almond milk.

3. Add Sweetness & Toppings 

After the oats are cooked, add maple syrup and almond butter (if using) for extra creaminess. Taste and adjust sweetness. Add a drop of vanilla extract for extra coziness. Serve in a bowl or glass and top with the toasted almonds. Add an extra drizzle of maple syrup if you’re feeling fancy.Ā 

4. Serve & Enjoy 

Grab a spoon, sit by the window, and soak up the cozy fall vibes in every bite. 

Why Gluten-Free Oats? 

If you’re part of the gluten-free community, you know the struggle of finding grains you can trust. Luckily, certified gluten-free oats are free from cross-contamination and deliver the same creamy goodness as regular oats. They’re a breakfast game-changer! 

Pro Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Oats 

  • Make it Creamier: Sub half the almond milk for coconut milk for an extra luscious texture. 
  • Add Protein: Toss in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt.Ā 
  • Go Nut-Free: Replace almonds with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a crunchy, nut-free alternative.
  • Add Fruit: Pears, apples, or dried cranberries make amazing additions. Or toss in some mashed banana for natural sweetness.
  • Switch it Up: Not an almond fan? Try pecans or walnuts.Ā 
  • Spice it Up: If you’re feeling adventurous, try a pinch of cardamom or allspice in the mix.

A Little Something to Sip On 

Pair your pumpkin oats with a hot cup of spiced chai or black coffee for the perfect start to your day.Ā

Notes

  • Toasted almonds bring a nutty crunch that balances the soft oats beautifully. Plus, they’re both nutrition powerhouses!
