Loading ...This breakfast is downright decadent; like a pumpkin pie in a bowl. Don’t let its sumptuousness rob you of pleasure though, this dish is super-healthy too. It’s loaded with fiber from the pumpkin and whole grain goodness from the oats.
2 cups cooked steel cut oats
1 cup canned pumpkin (half a 15 ounce can)
1/2 cup lowfat milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon allspice)
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and crumbled
Stir together all ingredients except nuts in a medium saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
Spoon into bowls and top with crumbled pecans.
Serves 4

Can’t wait to try this in the morning! It sounds like delicious & healthy comfort food, perfect for these chilly mornings

Brenda . . . You nailed the description. Enjoy!

But you don’t really need to be thinking about all that as you’re enjoying this ridiculously decadent bowl of oatmeal (I swear, it tastes like pumpkin pie). You can just feel good about what you’re eating and know, too, that it’s a great way to kick off the day. [...]
