Toasted Marshmallow Pumpkin Oats (Printer-Friendly Version)

Creamy pumpkin oats with fall spices, graham crumble, and toasted marshmallows for a cozy start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - ¾ cup milk (any type)
03 - ½ cup canned pumpkin purée

→ Sweeteners & Flavorings

04 - 2 tbsp maple syrup
05 - 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
06 - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
07 - ½ tsp vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt

→ Thickening Agent

09 - 1 tbsp chia seeds

→ Toppings

10 - ¼ cup mini marshmallows
11 - 2 graham crackers, crushed
12 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until evenly mixed.
02 - Divide the mixture into two mason jars or sealable containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
03 - Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add crushed graham crackers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
04 - Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the chilled oats. Using a kitchen torch, toast marshmallows until golden brown. Alternatively, broil in the oven for 30 to 60 seconds, watching carefully.
05 - Top toasted marshmallows with the graham cracker crumble. Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Prepare the oats the night before to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften fully.
02 - Add marshmallows just before serving to maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
03 - Use a mason jar with a secure lid for easy shaking instead of stirring.
