Delicious oatmeal that reminds you of pumpkin pie! Perfect for those chilly fall or winter mornings. My grandkids love this for breakfast!
Combine all ingredients (except pecans) in a dutch oven.
*Alternative to sweetening with maple syrup:
Combine 1 cup water and 4-6 pitted dates in blender and blend until completely smooth. Add with other ingredients and cook per instructions. If you use this date/water blend to sweeten your oatmeal, you can decrease the water needed by one cup.
**If you are not cooking for a crowd, you can make this on Monday and enjoy it all week long!
