Cinnamon And Spice Oatmeal Recipe is a delicious and healthy recipe that satisfies your sweet and savory desires. Oats are high in soluble fiber, which helps lower LDL cholesterol, control blood sugar levels, and maintain bowel regularity. And the cinnamon-spice flavor is perfect for the holidays!
Oatmeal is a quick-cooking whole grain that’s easy on your digestive system because it’s low in phytic acid and naturally gluten-free – two substances that can cause inflammation in some people with certain dietary restrictions.
Why I Love This Recipe?
Cinnamon And Spice Oatmeal Recipe is great because it’s a filling, healthy breakfast you can eat on your way to work or school. It’s also super fast to make –you could probably make the whole thing from start to finish in less than 10 minutes!
Because I normally don’t cook my Oatmeal at home (too lazy), I was skeptical about how it would taste when made with canned pumpkin puree.

Is cinnamon and spice oatmeal healthy?
Well, I like to think this is a healthier snack option than a candy bar. Oatmeal contains fiber, antioxidants, and good nutrients that can lower cholesterol. It’s not EXACTLY healthy, though. Here’s why…
Oatmeal is a complex carb and should be eaten in moderation. Cinnamon And Spice Oatmeal Recipe is on the high end, so don’t eat it daily, or you will get fat.
What spice is good in Oatmeal?
I buy organic pumpkin spice from Trader Joe’s. I love it, and I use it in a lot of recipes. However, Cinnamon And Spice Oatmeal Recipe is very expensive, and everyone else seems to like cinnamon, so I used it in this recipe.
What to add to Oatmeal to spice it up?
For obvious reasons, this makes a delicious breakfast! I think adding chia seeds and fresh fruits would be awesome. Brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon are good options to add to your bowl.
What can I put in Oatmeal to lose weight?
If you want to use this as a healthy weight loss plan, I suggest replacing the pumpkin with applesauce and eating it in moderation. You can also add blueberries, cinnamon, and honey for additional flavor (the honey would negate any supposed weight loss plan, but it still tastes delicious).
How Long Will It Take To Prepare?
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes

Is It Safe For Pregnant And Nursing Women?
I would not recommend eating this for breakfast right after giving birth as it contains Oatmeal, which can cause constipation. Cinnamon And Spice Oatmeal Recipe is best to eat it a couple of hours post-delivery. You can also make this recipe with a little more pumpkin spice and leave out the salt and sugar to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I Freeze And Store It?
Yes. Keep the Oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Bottom Line
If you love pumpkin, want to learn how to cook with spices and fresh veggies, or want a healthier snack than a candy bar, I would try this recipe. Just don’t go overboard on the spice; it should be fine for all ages of children!
