Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal
Description
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is made by cooking quick oats with almond milk until creamy. Pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice are then stirred in along with almond butter, chopped almonds, and maple syrup to enhance flavor and texture. Chia seeds and flax seeds provide extra texture and nutrients to round out the dish. The warmth of the pumpkin pie spice complements the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and maple syrup, while the almond elements create a mild nutty undertone.
The oatmeal’s texture is creamy from the cooking liquid and almond butter, with occasional crunchy bits from chopped almonds and seeds, making it satisfying and hearty. This warm breakfast is suitable for cool mornings and can be topped with additional nuts or sweeteners.
You can customize the nut ingredients by substituting peanut butter and peanuts if preferred, and the maple syrup can be replaced with honey or molasses. The dish can be prepped ahead by combining ingredients and storing overnight in the refrigerator, making it convenient to reheat in the morning for a quick start to the day.
