Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ cup water
- ½ ripe banana sliced
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites or 2 egg whites from whole eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of sea salt
- sprinkle of extra cinnamon
- toppings: almond butter granola and pecans
Instructions
- In a saucepan over high heat, add oats, water, banana slices, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt and cinnamon. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the oatmeal. Turn the heat down and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 5-6 minutes).
- Add vanilla and egg whites into the oats and stir/whisk constantly. Stirring will keep the egg whites from cooking so that they turn into a thick, fluffy consistency instead. This should take 1-2 minutes.
- Once all the liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is cooked through, place in a bowl and add your favorite toppings. I used almond butter, granola and pecans, but feel free to use a variety of nuts, nut butter or sweeteners. Enjoy!
