Oatmeal (Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie)
Description
We eat a lot of oatmeal, and after being reminded of the pumpkin pie oatmeal (Rebecca!), I searched for it and already had a copy printed off from here. I also sometimes do an apple pie version that I saw on a food show at some point, so I’m listing them both – oatmeal can be something you eat because you crave it! All ingredients are totally interchangeable.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
3 c. water AND a pinch of salt
1 c. steel cut oats
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cardamon
1/8 t. EACH ground cloves AND nutmeg
2 T. maple syrup
plain or vanilla yogurt and toasted pecans for topping
Bring the water and salt to a boil then add in the oats and reduce to a simmer, cooking and stirring occasionally until the water is soaked up and the oats are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add in the pumpkin, spices and maple syrup and give it s stir. This is 4 servings for us and we love our yogurt and nut topping.
