Yea, yea, I know people have been eating pumpkin all month, and it's nearly over. But I cooked my first pumpkin dish of the season this week — Pumpkin Oats from the 2012 Happy Herbivore Wall Calendar:
These creamy oats are amazing. There's, of course, pumpkin, as well as plump raisins (I use the pre-moistened baking raisins because they're awesome!), pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup.
The one thing I will change when I make this again in the morning is I'll add more maple syrup. The recipe only calls for one tablespoon, but this bowl could have been a tad sweeter. I'm not a huge sugar fan in the morning, but if I'm trying to eat something sweet, well, I want it to be all the way sweet.
I can't find the recipe on Happy Herbivore's site, but I did see that someone else had posted it. It's simple and delicious.
Yum, looks so rich! I guess this is month where we all od on beta carotine...
ReplyDeleteI need to eat more oatmeal and this looks great!
ReplyDeleteBa ha ha, that picture is awesome and so true. Fortunately I love pumpkin time! Pumpkin oats are the best, and I really like them with a mashed up banana and some blackstrap molasses - I'll admit to fiending for blackstrap just as much, if not more, than pumpkin itself.
ReplyDeleteThey look good. The picture made me laugh--I'm not the biggest fall or pumpkin fan. But I do like a few pumpkin things!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine that you use pumpkin for your oats. Looks healthy and rich, tho. :p
