Chocolate Pumpkin Oatmeal

After spending so much time cooking, searching and obsessing over pumpkin recipes.  I finally found a super easy way to use up those pumpkin leftovers.  You know for all those recipes that call for just 1 cup from a 15 oz can of pumpkin.  This makes a yummy, healthy and filling breakfast.  It’s super fast to cook and is toddler approved.

Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups chocolate milk, 1 1/2 cups oatmeal, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp vanilla, leftover pumpkin approximately 1/2 cup

Pour chocolate milk (reserving 1/4 cup) into a medium sauce pan, and heat over medium heat

Then add in the salt

oatmeal

and cinnamon, really you could add any other spices you like.  Allspice, cloves, or ginger would all be nice additions.

then cook over medium heat until oatmeal thickens.

Then stir in a vanilla

and pumpkin and stir well.

top off with a little reserved milk

and serve immediately
