- Now add your milk and let simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Turn off the heat and let cool for another 5 minutes (oats will absorb even more liquid and thicken).
- Serve with toppings of choice (nut butter, nuts, granola...).

Notes
- Texture: The texture of this oatmeal is quite runny, if you prefer a thicker consistency, start with only 1 cup of water and ⅓ cup of milk instead.
- Pumpkin Puree: You could use canned pumpkin but I recommend trying this Homemade Pumpkin Puree.
- Toppings: I highly recommend adding toppings such as slice of fresh fruit, dried fruits this Homemade Almond Butter, store-bought or homemade granola (try this Apple Cinnamon Granola) or other nuts and seeds.
