Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 cup rolled oats
  • 2.0 cups almond milk
  • 0.5 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1.0 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1.0 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.0 pinch salt
  • 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the almond milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  • If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
