I'm about to give "pumpkin" it's own category! I especially like eating pumpkin for breakfast. Oatmeal too, but I haven't found many ways to incorporate these two together that I'm overly fond of...unless it's in the form of a cookie, then there's no problems there!
Anyhow, I came across this recipe (from one of my favorite healthy cooking websites) and decided to give it a try because 1. it had pumpkin AND oatmeal in it and 2. it could be made ahead of time. Sadly I really didn't enjoy this. The girls weren't fans of it either. :( Sorry, but I won't be making this again.
1/2 cup quick oats
2 cups water
1 cup fat free milk
1 cup ice
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 tbsp brown sugar
1-2 tsp cinnamon
pumpkin pie spice to taste
Directions:
Cook oats and water in a small pot for about 1-2 minutes, stirring often until it becomes thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and let cook for a few minutes.
In a blender add milk, pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Add oats and ice. Blend on high until very smooth. Chill in fridge or pour in a glass over ice.
