Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1 medium apple, peeled and diced (preferably a tart variety like Granny Smith)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added texture)

A pinch of salt

Toppings: chopped walnuts or pecans, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds

Instructions
 

Combine the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, pumpkin puree, diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.

    Cook Together: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the mixture begins to heat up. Bring it to a gentle boil.

      Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Allow the porridge to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are creamy and cooked to your desired consistency. If the porridge becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your preferred texture.

        Sweeten the Porridge: Stir in the maple syrup and taste the porridge to adjust the sweetness, adding more syrup if desired.

          Serve: Spoon the warm porridge into bowls. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, a dollop of yogurt for creaminess, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for added nutrients and texture.

            Garnish and Enjoy: You can also add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top or a drizzle of additional maple syrup for a deliciously inviting finish. Enjoy while warm!
