    Pumpki Pie Steel Cut Oatmeal Recipe

    It's that time of the year again - when we seem to add pumpkin to everything!  I don't know why most people don't eat it all year long.  I understand that people think of it as "seasonal" and that made sense when we could only get certain foods at certain times of the year...but those days are long-gone and we now have a steady supply of canned pumpkin all year long!  We always have a batch of my homemade pumpkin muffins on hand, either fresh or in the freezer

    Since it is that time of year and the Fall and Winter are when everything is flavored with pumpkin, why not add it to your oatmeal?  Adding pumpkin to your oatmeal really helps to boost the dietary fiber in the oatmeal and adds a powerful punch of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, Iron, Niacin and much more!

    If you like a stronger pumpkin flavor, feel free to add as much as you like. It's so good for you!  I love pumpkin so much that I even make homemade pumpkin soup, so I do add a little more pumpkin than I list in this recipe - just adjust it to your tastes!

    I used steel cut oats because I like the thickness and that they are a little more "chewy", but you can easily just make pumpkin pie steel cut oatmeal using regular oatmeal.  If you like a thicker oatmeal, start with less water and ad more as needed. This will also thicken as it sits. I set mine aside to cool while I cleaned the kitchen, and it thicken up nicely (I like mine really thick).

    This is already quite high in protein and good for you nutrients, but you could also add flax or chia seeds, more nuts, dried fruit, etc.  I usually end up throwing a handful of raisins in with my oatmeal!

      We prefer steel-cut also. My wife makes it from scratch at least once a week during the winter months!

      I love enjoying warm oatmeal in the morning during the fall and winter. Adding pumpkin flavor is just an added bonus.
