an explosion of fall…in your mouth

If you like oatmeal + pumpkin you MUST try this recipe.  I have started preparing my basic bowl of oatmeal according to Kath’s awesome recipe for whipped banana oats.  The only thing I change is that I leave out the salt.  I have been using unsweetened rice milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of regular cow’s milk, but any will work fine.  I use organic rolled oats that you can usually find for about $.99/lb in the bulk bins.  They take a little longer to cook than the quick oats, about 5+ min on the stovetop, but there is a big difference in texture.

From there I added 1/4c. plain pumpkin puree, a dash of nutmeg and a 1/4t. cinnamon, 2t. of either brown sugar/honey/maple syrup/brown rice syrup [any will work, just to add a little sweetness].  I also topped it with vanilla almond granola, for a little crunch.

I just opened a can of pumpkin and was going to experiment making pumpkin with my oatmeal and even a breakfast cookie. I can never get the right amount of sweetness and too much spice. I think your version will work out just fine. I can't wait to try it!
