The ingredients for Pumpkin Oats are:

1/2 cup steel cut oats (or 1 cup old fashioned oats)
2 cups water
1/4 cup pureed pumpkin (canned or fresh)
2 Tbs golden flax seeds
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup craisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or to taste)
Pumpkin seeds for topping

Here is how you make Pumpkin Oats:

Place all ingredients (except pumpkin seeds) in a medium sauce pot over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oats are done about 20 minutes for steel cut oats, around 5 for old fashioned. Top with pumpkin seeds and serve with milk if desired. The combination of the pumpkin and dried fruits makes it sweet enough so you don't really need to add a sweetener, but if you'd like try adding some maple syrup as an all natural sweetener.
