FAQs
If you only have old fashioned oats I would make this on the stovetop by cooking the oatmeal in the milk until it's cooked through, then combining the remaining ingredients and serving.
To make your own pumpkin pie spice combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves.
