Pro Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Pie Oats
Tip 1: Perfect Pumpkin Selection
Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The filling is pre-sweetened and spiced, which can throw off the balance of flavors.
Tip 2: Spice It Right
Make your own pumpkin pie spice by combining:
- 2 parts cinnamon
- 1 part ginger
- 1 part nutmeg
- 1/2 part allspice
- 1/2 part cloves
Tip 3: Texture Perfection
If your oats are too thick in the morning, add milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
