If you make this oatmeal the way it is written, it is very bland and hard. I ended up adding more milk, because the oatmeal was in a big, hard lump. I also added a little salt, which helped bring out the flavors. It was still really bland, so I added extra pumpkin, and doubled the amount of pumpkin pie spice. This helped a lot. I also sprinkled the top of the oatmeal with a generous amount of extra cinnamon sugar. With these alterations, the oatmeal is very, very good. The pumpkin gives it a smooth, almost velvety texture. I will be making this again, but with these changes. Thanks for sharing! Was this review helpful?

Wow, this is a real nutritional powerhouse, using the old-fashioned oats instead of quick. I used 1 c. oats, 1 c. milk, dash of salt, generous 1/2 c. pumpkin, 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice plus a sprinkle of cinnamon, plus Splenda until it tasted sweet enough. I cooked it on top of the stove. Delicious, and I like that it has the cinnamon, which is good to keep blood sugar levels steady. Was this review helpful?

Very bland as written, but I love the idea of incorporating pumpkin into oatmeal. After reading reviews, I made the following changes: used old-fashioned oats instead of instant for better texture, added 1/4 cup dried cranberries (raisins, dates, prunes would also work well) and I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a dash of salt, then omitted the cinnamon sugar. I probably could have gotten away with just a couple tbsp. of brown sugar, but this definitely needs some sweetness added, even if it's just a little honey or maple syrup. I'll be making this again!
