Ingredients

    2 C oatmeal
    4 C low fat milk
    1 C pumpkin puree (canned if fresh is not available)
    1 t pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
    2 t honey

    Optional toppings:
    chopped walnuts
    almonds
    pumpkin seeds
    peanut butter
    raisins
    dates
    cranberries
    raw, shredded apple or carrot

Tips

Our family cooks large batches of this and we eat it for breakfast most mornings. We measure out a 1/2 C serving and microwave on high for 45-60 seconds.


Directions

Stir the oats, milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes (or longer depending on personal tastes) mixing regularly to avoid "caking" on the bottom of the saucepan.

Serve or store for later consumption.

Experiment with optional toppings to augment the texture and flavors to your taste.
