Instructions

Add the non-dairy milk, oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and salt to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Now reduce heat and gently simmer for 3-5 minutes or until thickened (it'll thicken more as it cools). Stir occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.
Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Serve with chopped pecans and a swirl of milk if desired (see notes for more topping ideas). Enjoy!
