Add everything to a pan: Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan and mix well.
Heat: Simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
Serve: Divide between bowls and top with yogurt and maple syrup and any other toppings of your choice.
Notes
Stir more frequently towards the end of cooking, as the chia seeds make the mixture thicken quickly.
Toast pecans, walnuts or pumpkin seeds before adding them for even more flavour.
If you open a whole can of pumpkin puree for this recipe, freeze the remaining puree in small portions so it is ready for future breakfasts and baking.
A tiny pinch of salt can help bring out the sweetness and warming spices if your oatmeal tastes a little flat.
Give the oatmeal a minute to stand before serving, as it will thicken slightly once it comes off the heat.
