Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal


It's finally Fall ya'll! You have no idea how happy I am about this! I could write an entire post about all the wonderful things about Fall but I will spare you and just simply say PUMPKIN! If you don't like pumpkin you're wrong. Pumpkin is delicious in everything. Including this delicious pumpkin pie oatmeal that I have been making all week for breakfast (and once for dinner). 


When it start getting chilly out oatmeal is the best breakfast. It sticks to your bones and warms you right up. And then when you add pumpkin it's like a home run. 

Ingredients:
1/3 Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/3 Cup Canned Pumpkin Puree 
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Packets of Splenda (Or 1 Tbs Sweetener of choice, like Agave or Honey )
1 Tbs Chopped Pecans
2 Tbs Fat Free Cool Whip


1. Pour almond milk and oatmeal in a sauce pan on medium heat.
2. When it starts to bubble add the pumpkin and stir it up. Let it bubble for another minute.
3. Add the vanilla extract, Splenda, and pumpkin pie spice. Let it sit on low heat for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally.
4. Take off the heat and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.

Top with Cool Whip and Pecans.
Enjoy!



I love to make this the night before and let it sit in the fridge to "marinate" over night.
Oh My Gosh!
Yum!
