Recipe: Cozy Pumpkin Apple Oats

Pumpkin Apple Oats and Sweater Weather kitchen towel

In the photo: the Sweater Weather Towel - New!

I love waking up with something cozy and warm, especially as we move into the winter months. Enter: my Cozy Pumpkin Apple Oats!


This oatmeal is thick, creamy, warm and full of all my favorite fall flavors. I topped mine with some maple-spieced walnuts, apple butter, and chopped apple, but you can use whatever toppings you wish! Nut butter or chocolate chips would also be delicious.


I whip up this single-serving bowl of oatmeal on weekdays as part of my daily routine. But double or even quadruple it, and it would also be a lovely breakfast to make for guests or lazy weekend mornings.


To go for a straight-up pumpkin version of these oats, you can substitute the apple cider for water or more milk of your choice. Enjoy!
