We are coming up on one of my favorite weeks food-wise, Thanksgiving, and nothing screams Thanksgiving to me like pumpkin pie. So obviously I had to make some pumpkin pie oats. Really I'll use any reason to make something pumpkin-related, and this seemed like the perfect excuse!
Here's What You'll Need:
-1 cup rolled oats
-2 1/4 cups almond milk
-1 cup organic pumpkin puree
-1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
-1 tbsp and 1 tsp maple syrup, separated
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-Pinch of sea salt
-1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
-1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
-2 tbsp low fat Greek yogurt kefir
-1 tbsp unsweetened almond butter
Instructions:
1) Mix together the oats and almond milk and heat on high until boiling.
2) Add in the pumpkin, turn down to low heat, and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly.
3) Stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt, and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the oats are completely cooked.
4) Mix together the Greek yogurt, almond butter, and 1 tsp maple syrup in a small bowl.
5) Split the oats between two bowls and top each with the walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and Greek yogurt almond butter mixture.
6) Enjoy!
I hope you like this Thanksgiving-inspired breakfast as much as I did. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
