This Pumpkin Pie and Apple Oatmeal is an easy, filling, and cozy breakfast to help you get your morning off to a great start during those chilly fall and winter months.
1largeapplechopped into small, bite-sized pieces (I like honeycrisp)
1 1/3cupsrolled oats
Pinchof salt
2cupsnonfat milk
1teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Brown sugarto taste
Pecans
Instructions
Combine oats and milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to cook over medium heat until desired consistency; 3-5 minutes.
Stir in pumpkin, Apple, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Cook for 2-4 minutes to soften apples (depending on how crisp or soft you want them to be). Add brown sugar in increments until you are satisfied with the sweetness. I used about 1/3 cup and also sprinkled some on top.
Serve immediately, garnished with pecans and brown sugar.
Notes
*Refrigerate remaining pumpkin puree for use in another recipe, like my Pumpkin Alfredo.
