pumpkin pie oatmeal

[Guest guest]

I've been following this discussion with excitement! I eat oatmeal almost every

day. It's fast, cheap, healthy - what's not to love, right?

 

My usual way is with sliced banana or cubed pears, walnuts or pecans, and real

maple syrup. My husband likes fruit, nuts and brown sugar.

 

Here's a link to a recipe for pumpkin pie oatmeal. I'm going to use it as a

starting point and goof around with it tomorrow and report back. I plan to

simplify it for normal, quick, everyday use!

T^hat sounds SO good! I love oatmeal! I eat it almost every morning!

Here's how I do it:

 

Bring 5 oz vanilla almond milk to a simmer. Add 2/3 cup of old fashioned

oats and 1 cup frozen mixed berries (raspberries are my fav). Cook,

stirring, until liquid is absorbed about 5 minutes. Enjoy! Mmmm...even my

daughter (who is not vegan, but is contemplating vegetarian) has started to

use almond milk to make HER oatmeal (generally with a bit of brown sugar,

nuts, and dried cranberries).

Great idea to used mixed berries. I love raspberries too and I have some in the

frezzer. I use water and oats in the pot at the same time (cold) and then

bring it all to the boil together. I think they are creamier that way. I use

3/4 c. old fashioned oats, 1 1/2 c. cold water (I like a big bowl of oatmeal!).

I'm going to try it with coconut milk tomorrow with the berries. God only knows

when I'll get the darn pumpkin.

I'm partial to steel cut or Irish oats, so I'll have to give it a try with them

and see what comes out.  First I have to get some pumpkin.

I heat the almond milk first because I don't like slimy/gooey oatmeal. :^)

Using milk instead of water makes them taste creamy without the slime

factor that bugs me.
