Punkin’ Oatmeal by by aJ GAZMEN ツ GucciBeaR from Flickr
Lately I have developed an obsession with all things that involve canned pumpkin. I love canned pumpkin in brownies/quick bread instead of eggs and oil. I’ve also found that canned pumpkin and old fashioned oatmeal make for a tasty, high fiber breakfast. If you’re not used to this much fiber at breakfast, I’d start with a smaller amount of pumpkin.
Pumpkin Oatmeal:
Quick, pumpkin-tastic, hearty and healthy breakfast. Serves one. Cooking time, 5 minutes:
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (I like Libby’s)
- 1 cup 1% milk
- Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste (optional)
- 1 splenda packet (optional)
- Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes at 50% power. Add in optional spices and splenda. Stir again and enjoy!
