- Pumpkin-obsessed « makingthetrek - [...] Pumpkin oatmeal….oh wow! I love oatmeal for breakfast and this was a super yummy addition, not to mention healthy ...
Can the rolled oats be replaced w/ steel cut?
I don’t see why not!
Claire,
This looks and sounds so yummy! Any ideas on how to bump up the protein a little more?
You could add in a scoop of protein powder if you use that. If not, then maybe serve with a side of Greek yogurt and small amount of fruit. You could consider an additional tablespoon of an almond or peanut butter. Not sure how that would taste though!
I hope I’m not butting into your conversation, but I made something similar to this last year and I whipped up 1-2 egg whites and put them in the last few minutes of cooking time on my stove. I just stirred them in really well and you’ll never even know they’re in there. 2 egg whites will bump up the protein count to almost 8 grams if I am remembering correctly.
I have been stirring a some Greek yogurt into oatmeal after it is fixed lately. It makes it supper creamy and goes great with anything I add to the oatmeal like raisins or blueberries. I am really anxious to try this pumpkin oatmeal.
I have oatmeal every morning but I have not tried pumpkin in it. This looks like a great fall option especially since I have ‘homemade’ pumpkin!
Love this recipe! Posted it to my recipe collection blog! Thanks for sharing!
Oh this sounds yummy!! I’m going to start making it. I LOVE PUMPKIN!!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for posting recipe ideas. This is one part of life where I need help!! I love seeing what you’re eating, it just gives me some more ideas.
This looks so so good! Thank you for the recipe!
This looks AMAZING! I’m going to try it with my steel cut oats since that’s all I have right now. I love trying new things in my oatmeal!
I made this for breakfast this morning before church and it was amazing! I used steel cut oats, it was wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
I tried this last fall but had forgotten – it WAS delicious. Play with the spices. I like clove & allspice, too. Or the pumpkin pie spice mixture. A few raisins or craisins are good, but they bump up the calories quickly.
Any way these can be made into muffins?
Can I use instant oats? I am lazy & don’t normally buy the rolled sort.
Sure! I’ve done that before!
You know, I haven’t seen any difference in the preparation between the two types. It kind of confused me…
Man do I <3 pumpkin! Gonna try this one:)
That’s it, we’re having this tomorrow morning.
