Pumpkin oats

I feel like I have pumpkin coming out of my ears right now. And I’m kind of okay with that. I mean, it is fall. And in fall, you eat pumpkin until you turn orange….or until the Christmas season starts and you switch your attention to peppermint and gingerbread flavored concoctions.

But back to amazing pumpkin. Especially this pumpkin creation: Fall Pumpkin Oats.

This oatmeal has been a breakfast regular in my house during fall for I can’t tell you how many years.

My family loves it because its a tasty, cozy way to start the day. And I love feeding this fall pumpkin oats to them because its damn easy to make in the morning and totally healthy!

About pumpkins

Pumpkins, in all their orange glory, are more than just a delicious fall fruit. They are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals (vitamins, A, C, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus to name a few).

Pumpkins are loaded with fiber, so they keep the gut happy and running smoothly.

And those pretty peepers of yours love them because all of the beta-carotene pumpkins hold help your eyes to stay healthy and sparkling. Combined with hearty oats, lovely fall spices, and maple syrup, this Fall Pumpkin Oats can easily be mistaken for dessert.

    Think butternut squash would taste good instead of pumpkin?
