Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup liquid of choice (I usually use water or almond milk!)
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
  • ¼ sliced banana (optional)
  • 1 tbsp dried fruits (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a small pot on the stove on medium-low heat, mix the oats, liquid and egg whites
  2. These will cook relatively quickly, so be sure to stir every so often
  3. If you like chewier oats like me, continue to cook for five minutes. For folks who like looser oats, cook for less time
  4. Stir in pumpkin and spice and cook for another minute
  5. Pour into a bowl and top with your add-ons of choice!
  6. *Note: This base oatmeal recipe is not sweet - I like to add in some sweetness through chopped dried fruit and banana once cooked. One option to ensure sweeter oats without adding any sugar would be to cook in sliced banana at the beginning with the oats in step #1!
