One of my
favorite things about Fall is all those delicious Autumn flavors we get to
enjoy this time of year… pumpkin, squash, apples, warm spices… so comforting as
the weather gets chillier!
As I woke up
to a damp, chilly morning, I decided that the family needed a special treat to
get them up and moving for the day, I decided to “Autumn up” our usual morning
oatmeal, by adding some pureed pumpkin and spices. The results were quite
delicious, if I do say so, myself! So I have decided to share the recipe here.
I hope that your family enjoys this
special Autumn breakfast as much as mine did!
Pumpkin
Spice Oatmeal
3 cups of
old-fashioned oat
5 ½ cups of
water
½ cup pureed
pumpkin (fresh or canned, either will work fine)
¼ cup flax
meal (optional, but I like to add it to boost the nutrition!)
2 tsp
pumpkin pie spice
½ cup of
chopped walnuts or pecans
Maple syrup
Combine the
oats, water, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and flax in a medium pot. Cook over
medium-low heat, stirring often, until it is your desired consistency. We like
ours nice and thick. Spoon into bowls, and top each serving with chopped nuts
and maple syrup. Makes about 6 servings.
