Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare the oats in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the consistency.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

Absolutely! However, steel-cut oats require a longer cooking time (about 20-25 minutes) and additional liquid. Adjust accordingly.

What can I substitute for pumpkin puree?

If you don’t have pumpkin puree, sweet potato puree or mashed butternut squash are excellent alternatives.

Are there other topping options?

Feel free to experiment! Try toppings like shredded coconut, sliced bananas, fresh berries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and sweeten with maple syrup instead of honey.

How do I make homemade pumpkin puree?

Roast or steam peeled pumpkin chunks until tender, then blend until smooth. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer.
