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!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry oats, cooked
  • ½ 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

Instructions

  • Cook the oats according to package directions.
  • 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.
  • Put some oats in a bowl and top with pecans and maple syrup.
  • Note: the egg whites were added in order to get more protein. They are optional.

  1. 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.

    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?

  3. graciouspantry says:

    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.

  4. graciouspantry says:

    Haha! Awesome! Pumpkins are the BEST!

  5. Gretchen O'Donnell says:

    Looks fabulous! Will definitely try this.

  6. Patricia Thompson says:

    Tried this recipe today…just one word to say: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. graciouspantry says:

      Wonderful! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

  7. Kimberly Smith says:

    What does the egg in the oatmeal do?

    1. graciouspantry says:

      It adds protein.

  8. 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!

  9. graciouspantry says:

    Awesome! I’m happy you’re both enjoying it!

  10. graciouspantry says:

    Haha! Well, I do have the oatmeal project. 365 ways to top your morning oats. 🙂

  11. 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!

    1. graciouspantry says:

      Sounds like it! I might have to try that myself! 🙂

  12. 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?

    1. graciouspantry says:

      If memory serves, I did use rolled oats for this.

  13. 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?

    1. graciouspantry says:

      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.

  14. graciouspantry says:

    Wonderful! I hope they enjoy it!

  15. graciouspantry says:

    You would have to check the package to see how much water is needed.

  16. 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!

    1. graciouspantry says:

      My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it!

  17. Lynda McAllister says:

    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

  18. I love anything pumpkin, I will trying this tomorrow!

  19. RikiandChris Graves says:

    I made this for my company this morning and it was a hit! The egg whites are a nice touch – made it creamy. We used maple syrup and pecans for the topping – delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

  20. Jennifer Long says:

    Could I put these in the crockpot and cook over night as well?

    1. graciouspantry says:

      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.
