Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 heaping tbsp pumpkin puree – my favorite is Libby’s
- 1 /2 tsp pumpkin spice
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For glorious toppings..
The possibilities are endless, ranging from seeds, nuts, coconut, drizzle of nut butters or sweeteners such as honey, agave etc.
Directions:
- Heat a saucepan over medium, and combine in oats, milk & water.
- Stir every now and then till oats fully absorbs liquid.
- Once the oats are at your desired consistency, turn off heat or it would bubble over and burn.
- Stir in pumpkin spice, salt & vanilla extract.
- Serve hot or cold with your favorite toppings! The photo above had sunflower seeds, pecans, coconut chips, a drizzle of honey and a healthy tbsp of chocolate peanut butter.
Oh yeah 🙂
Am I safe to report that the pants don’t fit me anymore? That’s what I call a delicious and satisfying breakfast. Definitely keeps me full for hours, and tames my sweet tooth.
I usually have my breakfast with a side of fruits. That counts as healthy breakfast, right?
I think so.
Coupled with almond milk iced coffee. Wow. A deadly albeit delicious breakfast combo.
Some of my oatmeal creations over the time:
Do you love hot oats? What are your fall cravings?
If you don’t love hot oats, perhaps these creations might tickle your fancy? And if you haven’t notice already, I have a huge liking for strawberries. Seriously. A lot. I am going to miss you summer, but ’em so ready for Fall 😀
