    Ingredients

    • Steelcut Oatmeal - Instant oatmeal will not be a good substitute since its already process and not as hardy as the unprocessed steel cut grain. Instant oatmeal will be overcooked in this recipe
    • Can Pumpkin Purée - you can pick up a can or you can also make your own. Food Network has a easy and simple recipe to make purée yourself.
    • Spices - this isn’t your grandma’s oatmeal. The flavors are so good. It’s like if your favorite Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte became a big warm cozy bowl of oatmeal.

    Substitutes

    Looking for a non-pumpkin fall breakfast idea. This is a very versatile recipe and can easily be made with canned sweet potatoes or butternut squash and taste just as good. Its really up to you which one you prefer.

    Make sure to use plain canned purée not canned pumpkin or sweet potato pie mix as this will make the recipe entirely too sweet.

    Is Oatmeal Gluten-Free?

    Yes, technically oatmeal is gluten-free; but its complicated. The issue is that oatmeal is often processed in facilities that process gluten-containing grains like wheat, rye, and barley. Cross contamination becomes an issue in these facilities.

    Look for oatmeal processed in a dedicated facility certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization 

    Steel Cut Oatmeal Vs Rolled Oatmeal

    On left rolled oats and on right steel cut oats

    Steel cut oats (aka Irish Oats or Pinhead Oats) are minimally processed; its the whole grain oat groat. They have a robust nutty flavor and have a chewy texture.

    Rolled oats are made when the whole grain oat is steamed until soft and then compressed in a roller until fully dried. This process allows rolled oats to cook very quickly.

    Both are healthy options and nutritionally are pretty similar with ¼ uncooked cup having 5g of protein and 4g of fiber

    Alternative Oatmeal Cooking Methods

    • Instant Pot - 5 minutes on high, let sit for 10 minutes before opening the release valve to let out remaining steam
    • Oven - Baking in stove on 375 degrees in dutch oven or large oven proof pot with lid on for 35 minutes 
    • Slow Cooker- for hands free cooking follow directions in recipe card and cook in your slower cooker on low for 8 hours
    • Overnight - personally we only recommend the overnight no cook method for rolled oats but do in our Chai Overnight Oats with Quinoa recipe.

    How To Store, Freeze and Reheat 

    Store in a tightly seal container with lid in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated during the busy work week.
