Clean Eating Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Wouldn’t it be awesome if every autumn when pumpkin season begins, we could just whip out a big pumpkin pie for breakfast and not worry about it being unhealthy? Would you be surprised if I told you you can? Well… almost. This clean eating pumpkin pie oatmeal recipe is so darn close to eating pumpkin pie, you’ll swear you’re eating dessert for breakfast!

A while back, I started “The Oatmeal Project“. My intent was to create 365 ways to eat your morning oats. The response I have gotten has been so amazing, that I’m considering starting an entirely new blog for this little project of mine! How fun would that be!?!

But until I do, I had to share this incredible oatmeal recipe with you. It was submitted by Lynn (Comment #96).  In one word, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

This one is right up there with the peanut butter oatmeal for me. Definitely one of my favorites so far. If you like pumpkin pie, you’ll love having this for breakfast! The aromatic pumpkin spices, crunchy pecans, and delicately sweet maple syrup will make you beg for the holidays to come back. It might even force a Christmas tune or two out of you. You never know!

Author: The Gracious Pantry
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dry oats, cooked
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (no sugar added)
  • 4 large egg whites (optional)
  • 1 cup pecans (1/4 cup per serving - optional)
  • maple syrup to taste
US Customary - Metric
Instructions

  1. Cook the oats according to package directions.

  2. In the last 5 minutes of cooking (just take a guess, the oats should basically be pretty much done cooking), quickly stir in the eggs, being sure to stir vigorously so they get well-distributed. Then, stir in the pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice.

  3. Put some oats in a bowl and top with pecans and maple syrup.

  4. Note: the egg whites were added in order to get more protein. They are optional.

  1. and I was just wondering what I was going to have for breakfast… mmmm… I think I’ll make it with oat bran rather than rolled oats (which I don’t like) or steel cut (which I love but don’t have time for today)… this just looks scrumptious!

    new to clean eating thang.. so have a question.. what makes maple syrup clean?… or rice syrup?..

    Reply

    • Annie – With all natural sweeteners, they are in the bottle the way they came from nature, with little to no processing involved. That’s really what makes any food clean. Hope that helps, enjoy the “bran-meal”!

  2. This looks so good and it will feel amost criminal to eat this for breakfast but I’m definitely going to do just that! I love your philosophy about food and your photos are fab.

  5. Paulissa – Wonderful!!! I think this one and the peanut butter oatmeal are my two favs. Glad you enjoyed it!

  9. Absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Best breakfast ever! I added sliced banana to mine. I LOVE this website! Thank you so much for sharing!!

    Reply

  11. My first bite I was like “it’s okay” but then I added a couple of sliced bananas and heated it through some more and by my 4th bite I’m totally digging it. I can’t even think of eating oatmeal without the egg whites! As some reviewers said you have to be ready for a raw pumpkin like taste but you will get through it if you really love pumpkin1

  14. Delicious! I used milk for the first time in oatmeal and wasn’t as thick as I would like BUT i will definitely be making this for breakfast again during the week. I love the oatmeal project!!

    Reply

  17. Laura – Yes you can! I don’t recommend doing a full week however. It’s been my experience that it doesn’t last much past 4 days. But other’s have told me it lasts a full week. So play it by ear.

  18. A quarter of the recipe with the maple syrup and the pecans mentioned is 204 calories. I did not measure the final yield. I just cut the recipe into 4 parts. I’m not sure if the final yield is 1 1/2 cups or not. But the data does include the pecans and maple syrup.

    Reply

    • This is something I’ve been meaning to work on. I believe you just have to add some extra liquid and be sure you are using steel cut oats. But I’m not positive. I’ll have to work on that one soon.

      Reply

  25. I made this this morning – I had never thought to put egg whites in my oatmeal – but it was great. I am sure the extra protein will take me further in the morning. Two thumbs up and btw – 5 ww – pp. Thanks for the recipe!

  26. This was delicious. I used the steel cut oats & 2 eggs not whites. Also added a bit more pumpkin pie spice. Topped it with sliced banana, almonds, walnuts, & cinnamon.

  27. Interesting. So Myofusion is considered okay for a paleo diet? I wouldn’t think any form of protein powder would qualify. I don’t know a lot about the paleo diet, but as I understand it, it’s based on a “cave man” diet. I’m pretty sure cave men didn’t have protein powder back then, so how does that work? Is there a particular part of the paleo diet that allows protein powders?

  28. You could try some egg. Other than that, you’d have to get into making more of an actual muffin by using flour and such.

    Reply

  33. So glad you have clean pumpkin recipes! I love pumpkin but a lot of recipes that use it call for a ton of sugar. Made this this morning with old fashioned oats due to time and it turned out great! Thank you!

    Reply

  38. Awesome recipe! I just made a quick version with the bare better oats brand and I added some coconut oil for a little boost, topped it with a mix of sunflower seeds and shaved almonds and a few slices of banana. man, that was delish!

    Reply

  39. When you say “dry oats” do you mean rolled oats? A cup of dry rolled oats is 300 calories, but a cup of dry steel cut oats is 600 calories. I’m assuming it’s rolled oats that you’ve used to calculate calories per serving…is that right?

    Reply

  40. I know this probably is a goofy question, but is 5 minutes long enough for the egg whites to actually cook? It doesn’t turn into a runny mess, does it?

    Reply

    • You are stirring it in, so yes. It cooks very quickly. You can cook it longer if you feel more comfortable that way. It will still be fine.

      Reply

  45. Wow….this was AMAZING! I’m not a huge Pumpkin Pie fan…but it sounded and looked great, so thought I would try it. So glad I did…I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for the recipe!

    Reply

  46. I made this oatmeal…AWSOME …although I did not have any pumpkin on hand so I used sweet potatoes instead! Great idea to add the egg whites…THANKS

    Reply

    • I didn’t formulate it for that. If you want to try, you would need to put in slightly more water to keep it from drying out.

      Reply

  51. Could I use egg beaters egg whites? If so… how much? Also I have pumpkin I steamed.. I’m assuming that the pumpkin you used was not canned? I’m new to clean Eating….

    Reply

    • You can use canned or fresh, cooked pumpkin. Doesn’t matter, just measure it out. I don’t personally recommend egg beaters, and I don’t use them. So I’m not sure how much to use here. Really sorry.

  52. I made this today using steel cut oatmeal, and doubled the recipe so I had enough oatmeal for breakfasts for the week. I didn’t find that it had enough flavor, I think the spice ratio was probably fine with rolled oats, but it just lacked flavor the way I did it. I don’t know what I did wrong, but I’ll just throw in some more of the spices and hope for the best! It definitely was edible, and I added some raisins (not sure how clean that is? I’m new to clean eating). If raisins are ok for future oatmeal recipes, I’m dying for an oatmeal recipe that tastes like the raisins and spice packets from Quaker. They were my favorite breakfasts at my grandmother’s house as a kid!

    Reply

    • Try making the recipe as is and see what you think of the flavor. Raisins are fine, so long as there is nothing else added to them.

      Reply

    • Dana – I doubt it’s clean though. I haven’t found a zero calorie food yet that is anything close to clean and natural. What’s in the ingredient list?

      Reply

  55. I tried this recipe with rolled oats and I found it to be pretty bland as well. I’m new to the healthy/clean eating lifestyle, so I could just be so used to the processed stuff. It’s not easy to adjust the taste buds.

    Reply

    • Kim – Ya, don’t underestimate that. It does take a while for your tastebuds to enjoy healthier options. But you can always add a bit more spice and sweetener until you adjust.

  56. Tiffany-

    I made this on Sunday. I made the full four servings even through I’m the only one would would eat it. (I’m divorced, so it’s just me and my son). I ate one portion sunday morning and have had one each yesterday and today. yesterday, I ate it room temp and commuting 30 min to work. today I warmed it up. It’s amazing. When heating it, I added about 2 tsp of maple syrup and a splash of almond milk (vanilla unsweetened). Delish!

    Reply

  58. How do you think this would freeze? I work in remote areas, and like to pre make clean food for when I’m gone…just not sure how this would go over? Is everyone just storing it in the refrigerator for a week? Or freezing? Great recipe by the way!!!

  59. I’m trying to save this recipe to my ZipList account and when i click ‘save’ nothing happens. Could you help? Thanks

  60. On one of the cooking shows they prepared oatmeal with fruit (no surprise), but they used the fruit juice to cook the oatmeal! On this week’s schedule to try………….

    Reply

  61. Did make this back in Nov. It is just a tiny bit bland but that was ok. It’s really awesome! My kids ran out of the pecans and didn’t like the taste without them so I had to give them more 🙂 Thank you for all these recipes!

  62. This sounds so good!
    And I love that you include the nutritional values. Makes enjoying it that much easier : )
