Pumpkin Love

I have a serious love for pumpkin everything! I found this and had to share.  So I want to start adding random yummy recipes that are pumpkin filled :)

Pumpkin Oatmeal:

(via Broke Girls Guide.com)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sugar-free almond milk (or water, or another type of milk)



• 2 packets of instant oatmeal



• 1 cup of canned pumpkin (this is also great for smoothies and pancakes)



• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon



• 2 tablespoons of crushed walnuts (or pecans)



• 1 ripe banana, sliced

Directions:  

Bring the milk or water to a boil in a saucepan, and add the instant
oatmeal.  Stir for a few minutes until the oatmeal has thickened, then
reduce the heat to low.  Add the pumpkin and the cinnamon, and stir.
Turn off the stovetop.  Add the crushed walnuts and sliced banana.




Note: if you’re really healthy (and really patient), go for the 
slow-cook steel-cut oats instead of the instant stuff.  Also, don’t
 worry about following the recipe to a tee (we never do), so feel free to 
improvise.



Servings: technically two…but it’s so good that we ate twice this
 amount, so you might want to lie to yourself and say that this recipe 
makes just one serving.

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte: 

 (via Snack-Girl.com)

 

• 4 ounces coffee or espresso

• 1/2 cup skim or nonfat milk  (My preference is Regular Soy Milk)

• 2 teaspoons sugar  (I'm going to suggest 2 packets of Stevia)

• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra to dust on top)

Brew coffee and heat milk until hot in microwave. Foam milk frothier. Mix sugar and pumpkin pie spice in coffee and pour milk on top. Enjoy!
