In a small saucepan, combine the oats, two-thirds of the water, and the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the oats are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
While the oats simmer, place the chopped pecans in a small skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing often, until fragrant and golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Stir the canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and the remaining water into the oats. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for 2 minutes to heat through and combine.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir in the protein powder until smooth and creamy. If the oats are too thick, stir in a splash of water. Transfer to a bowl and top with the toasted pecans.
