Ingredients
· 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
· 1/3 cup water
· 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
· 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
· 1 Tbsp brown sugar replacement
· 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
· pinch of salt, optional
· 1 large egg, room temperature
· 1 tsp vanilla
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, combine oatmeal and water. Set aside for 30-60 minutes to allow the oatmeal to soak up the water. (see notes)
2. Add almond milk, pumpkin, brown sugar replacement, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, if using, to the saucepan. Stir to combine and set it over medium heat. Cook until it comes to a boil and allow to cook until most of the liquid is gone and the oatmeal is loose but thick, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Set aside.
4. Once the oatmeal is almost to your desired thickness, QUICKLY stir in the egg mixture. Stirring quickly keeps the egg from scrambling instead of incorporating into a thick, fluffy consistency. Let cook until the egg cooks and the oatmeal thickens more, 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl and enjoy!
Notes
· If you’ll be pressed for time in the morning, you can do Step 1 the night before, it just may not be as creamy.
· You can easily adjust the recipe to make more servings! Just multiply ingredients by the number of servings needed.
· Add your favorite toppings. Granola, walnuts, pecans, dried cranberries, etc.
