Directions

1. Thoroughly combine quick cooking oats, water, milk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, spice and salt in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. 
2. To prepare topping, combine 1 TBSP pure pumpkin with 1-2 tsp of light brown sugar. Serve a dollop over oatmeal. If desired mix in craisins and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice.
