Best Pumpkin Oatmeal Healthy Easy Food

HEALTHY PUMPKIN-OATMEAL BAKE

Steps:

• For the oatmeal: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish or an 8-inch square baking pan with the butter.
• Stir together the oats, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the almond milk, vanilla and egg in a medium bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir to combine.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the walnuts, oats, sugar, butter, flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• Pour the oatmeal into the prepared baking dish. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the pumpkin puree directly into the oatmeal, and sprinkle the topping over the dish. The mixture will be very wet at this point, but the oats will soak up the liquid. Bake until lightly browned and just set, about 50 minutes.
• Cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

PUMPKIN OATMEAL

Steps:

• In large saucepan over high heat, combine the pumpkin puree, water, milk, raisins, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (alternative spices). Bring to a boil.
• Add the oatmeal. Turn the heat down and cook according to your oatmeal instructions; mine usually takes about 15 minutes. Stir often.
• Meanwhile, in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat, toast the pepitas until they're fragrant and a gentle golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Once the oatmeal is cooked (each grain should be tender), serve with honey or maple sugar on the side, pepitas to sprinkle on top, and cream if people like it more like porridge.
