#710: Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl


The title of this recipe is very deceiving.  This has no "bread" in this nor does it have a "bread-like" consistency.  This is more of a oatmeal or mush.  That sure didn't stop me from trying it though.  I think I'm on a "100 ways to try/eat canned pumpkin" kick.  Can you tell by my posts?! 

This is my second attempt at eating/making this recipe.  I made it Sunday night, took it to work with me and then lost it in my classroom.  Yes, I said I lost it!  Don't judge, we were gone all weekend and it's parent/teacher conference week...enough said!  Fortunately I found it the next day so it didn't get too old in my room...even though I couldn't eat it.  :)


Anyhow, as long as you add some texture (such as the chopped nuts) I think this is really, really good.  I'll totally make this again!

1/3 c canned pumpkin (or cooked pumpkin)

3/4 c milk of choice
1 cup flake cereal
1/4 to 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
sweetener (such as stevia, sugar, or even maple syrup)
optional: chocolate chips, pecans

Blend all ingredients together (except for chocolate chips and pecans). Let sit for a little while to thicken.  Add the chocolate chips and pecans on top.
