Tips for Making Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or quadrupled - just adjust the ingredients and use a slightly bigger pot. When making larger batches adjust the simmering time to at least 8 minutes.
Make sure to stir the oatmeal often when it's cooking, or it will stick to the bottom of the pot and be a total pain to clean! Start soaking the pot in water immediately after you've made the oatmeal so it's easier to clean later.
In general, oatmeal doesn't keep well in the fridge - it's best to serve it immediately. But, if you do want to make a large batch of it and save it for the week - reheat it over the stove and add a couple of tablespoons of oat milk to help it loosen up.
