Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal
Pumpkin Spiced OatmealMore of my favorite ways to get in a hearty oatmeal breakfast is with Baked Oatmeal with Pumpkin and Banana, Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal and even Oatmeal Smoothie.
I love the convenience of overnight oats in a jar, but today I was craving a warm bowl of oatmeal just like Mom used to make. She made the best oatmeal when I was a kid, it was so creamy (made with whole milk) and she always cooked it with cinnamon sticks.
I tried to replicate the creaminess using a blend of almond milk and water to keep it light and the results were wonderful. Topped it with homemade pumpkin butter, skinny pumpkin granola and a pinch more cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice… heavenly!
If you’ve made pumpkin granola, it’s the perfect topping to add a little crunch. If not, you can top it with a few dried cranberries and chopped pecans or pepitas. Enjoy!
