Instructions
- Combine pumpkin and liquids: In a small saucepan, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond milk, and pumpkin spice mix. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

- Almond milk can be substituted with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.

- For a creamier texture, cook the oats a little longer or add an extra splash of milk.
- Feel free to add fresh fruits such as berries or banana slices for added nutrients and flavor.
