Ingredients

4 cups 1% milk or water
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 (16-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional 1⁄3 cup dried fruit

Directions

1. In a 2 quart pan, add cold milk or water, oats, pumpkin, salt, spices, and raisins (if desired).

2. Bring to a boil over medium high heat; cover, turn heat down to simmer. Cook about 10 minutes. Take off heat and leave in pan for 5 more minutes.

3. Serve hot. Oatmeal stores well in refrigerator, so it can be made once and eaten as “planned leftovers” for easy work week breakfasts in 2 minutes!
