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
to your starving heathens
