Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal
This Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal is a delicious breakfast treat on a cold morning!
The leaves are starting to change color and the mornings are now crisp and cool here in Maine. Fall has finally arrived! I love this time of year, but the chilly mornings do make it hard for my kids to get out of bed some days. So, today I decided to make them a nice hot breakfast to entice them out from under the covers. I made a delicious batch of Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal and they were thrilled!

What Toppings Can I Add?
While the Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal is delicious all by itself, it is fun to add some toppings! I like it topped with pecans and a little extra brown sugar. My kids like it with maple syrup on top. Cream, cinnamon, or any kind of nuts could also be added!
