Pumpkin Oatmeal

This is a great fall breakfast! The oatmeal is filling and the pumpkin and spices remind you of a sinful dessert.  It is easy to make and only takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare.



The S/C Value for the oatmeal (without any syrup if you choose to add it) is 1/2. 

Pumpkin Oatmeal

 Serves 1


1/2 of "milk" (I used So Delicious coconut milk, but almond milk could probably also be used.)
1 Tbsp. heavy cream

1/4 c. pumpkin, canned
1/4 tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1/2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1 small pinch of xantham gum (to thicken). (You could skip this if you don't have xantham gum; it may just be thinner oatmeal)

1 pinch of stevia (I use NuNatural brand, which tastes the best), to taste.  You could probably also use a packet of truvia or any other sweetener.


In a small saucepan, combine milk, cream, pumpkin, and spices.  Bring to a boil.  Add oatmeal and lower temperature to simmer.  When oatmeal is soft (after about 3 minutes), add xantham gum and stir.  Once thickened, remove from heat.


Serve it as is or with a small amount of Jospeh's Sugar Free Maple Syrup.


Enjoy!
