Creamy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm in a little bit of a creamy mood. Something about the word just makes the dish better!

I made this the other morning because I had roasted pumpkin waiting to be used, and I wanted to get a little bit more vegetables into my day.

This is a quick, easy breakfast recipe that will spice up your normal morning routine. It seriously takes 5 minutes. 

Creamy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Serves: 1

Ingredients

            1/3 cup unrolled oats

            2/3 cup water

            2 Tbsp. flax meal (optional)

            1/3 cup mashed or pureed pumpkin (I used roasted pumpkin, but canned works too.)

            dash of vanilla

            cinnamon (to your liking)

            2 Tbsp. sweetener (I used honey)

            3 Tbsp. milk

            raisins (optional)

            walnuts (optional: I did not have any)

Directions:

            Put oats and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. When the oatmeal is done to your liking, remove from heat. Stir in the flax meal. Add the pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and sweetener. Stir the milk in last. Scoop into a small bowl and top with raisins or walnuts.

Enjoy!
