In a medium saucepan, whisk together water, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add the oats. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes, until thickened to your liking. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the pumpkin spice oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with pepitas, additional milk, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.

As written, this recipe serves two people. Feel free to split the recipe in half to serve one, or double it to feed more.
Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for this recipe. Instant or quick oats tend to get mushy when cooked this way.
Check to be sure that your oatmeal is gluten-free certified, or purity protocol.
Use pure pumpkin puree that only contains pumpkin. Don’t use pumpkin pie filling which already contains sugar and spices.
Any type of dairy or non-dairy milk can be used in this recipe.
Brown sugar gives this pumpkin spice oatmeal a nice amount of sweetness, but you can feel free to adjust it to meet your tastes.
Make sure to add the vanilla extract at the end, after the oats have cooked. This will keep the vanilla flavor strong and delicious.
Jazz up your oatmeal toppings however you like! Try other types of seeds, nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of pumpkin syrup.
