4 Stars. this was tasty, although I would reduce the pumpkin pie spice to 1/4 teaspoon. Made according to recipe, with 1/2 cup water for a thick oatmeal. Without sugar or Splenda, it was too intense; I liked it fine with 1 envelope of Splenda. Yes, it is wonderful to have something to look forward to when another recipe doesn't use an entire can of pumpkin puree. Thanks for posting, Annacia. Made for October 2008 Veg*n Swap.

This hit the spot on this chilly morning. My son and I love oatmeal in the morning and this was something different for us. We really enjoyed it. I followed the recipe as written other then I used milk instead of water (personal preference) and I didn't have oat bran so didn't add that. We liked this a lot and will be making again. Made for Fall PAC 2008.

Yes, this is a GREAT way to use leftover pumpkin! I used a bit more water (my micro is very hot and turned it to sludge!) but followed all else to a T. The spices were spot on! I did add 1/2 t sugar (not a splenda fan) and a sprinkling of craisins as suggested by CoffeeB. Delish! The oat bran made this very filling, and combined with a small glass of milk this kept me full all morning, which is rare. Great for a morning when I crave pumpkin muffins (read: every morning) but don't want to take the time to make them. Thanks for posting a simple, delicious, filling breakfast! Made for Went to Market 2008.

This is so fabulously delicious Annacia. I used two packets of my instant organic oatmeal w/flax. 1 cup of water, a splash of skim and then followed your advice for 2 T. of pumpkin and 1/2 t. of pumpkin spice and 1 packet of Splenda. Sprinkling a touch of cinnamon upped the taste a snitch. Great idea for the fall season for an alternative to normal oatmeal. Of course it would never hurt to add a handful of raisins/craisins either.~ Made for PhotoTag~

I'm enjoying a bowl of this right now! I made this with just under 1/2 cup water, and 3 tablespoons pumpkin, and after trying it once, I used a little less spice. I also sweetned this with real brown sugar (about 2 1/2 teaspoons). I will enjoy this again soon! The oatmeal measurements are also great for a basis of other oatmeals. Thanks!

What a great bowl of oatmeal! The oat bran makes it a bit more creamy than just rolled oats. The flavors were great. I used fat-free half and half on top, with a little butter.

This made a nice bowl of warm goodness!! I used 2/3 cup water, and it was still plenty thick — I think less water would have made it too gloppy and gluey. I used two heaping tablespoons of pumpkin... which I don't really like very much, and this was my first time trying it in oatmeal. I was pleasantly surprised. I also added two packets of Splenda. Thanks for posting!

This was very good and I will be making this often. I would not change a thing. I used 1 tsp splenda brown sugar blend. Thanks annacia for posting!
