Ingredients
5 cups milk (any kind: dairy or plant-based)

1 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Optional (Highly Recommended):

Instructions
In a large saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just beginning to simmer.
Stir in oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are soft and creamy.
Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.
