Pumpkin oatmeal is like eating dessert for breakfast (minus the sugar crash)

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked oats - old fashioned or steel cut (look for gluten-free)

• 2 cups milk or plant-based milk (unsweetened almond, coconut, flax, oat or hemp)

• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

• 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar or brown sugar blend (more to taste)

• 1/2 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews -optional)

Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients (except nuts) in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Stir oatmeal constantly to prevent sticking. Be careful as it will bubble and pop and can burn.

2. Serve with extra milk or nuts.

3. Refrigerate oatmeal for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months. Add additional milk to thin before serving.

Tip: Leftover pumpkin puree can be frozen for later use.
