Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal, Oh My!
You know it was only a matter of time before I got my hands all over some pumpkin. And honestly, it’s been quite a while since I got a little oat-y up in here. Yea, we are just going to pretend like oat-y is a thing, because I am making it one.
So, do you remember how I was just saying fall is basically here? Siiiikeeee …. Phoenix, Arizona decided she (I’m assuming Phoenix is a woman, because she carries a burning wrath like no other) was going to jump back on 108 degrees wagon. IN THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER. So help. Please.
Anyway, I’m still committed to it being fall. Even if it makes me sweat just thinking about it.Outside of this pumpkin pie oatmeal, I think I have no less than 26 pumpkin recipes to try out. And you know what, I could not be more thrilled.
Okay, okay I’m done complaining. On to the good stuff!
So yes, even in 108 degrees I’m sharing some pumpkin pie oatmeal, because it is a delicious bowl of goodness. This pumpkin pie oatmeal is quite literally the epitome of fall flavors. Every bite will be warm, hearty, and filled with spices. Be prepared to be hooked.
Want some more spice in your life? Try out these Carrot Cake Waffles! They are grain free.
The other great thing about this pumpkin pie oatmeal, you ask? This baby was done in less than ten minutes. So which makes it great for weekday mornings when breakfast is short and busy. Not to mention, this pumpkin pie oatmeal may have transformed my apartment into a pumpkin spice wonderland that I’m sure you can smell for miles. You see what we did there? Yes my friends, dual purpose.
Well I might as well let you get to it!! Add this pumpkin pie oatmeal to your week and I promise mornings will get that much better!

September 19, 2018 at 7:07 pmMmmm…look at all that pumpkin goodness! I’m with ya on all things fall. We didn’t quite get up to 108 in Minnesota but we did get blasted with upper 90’s & humidity for several days. Rude! I can’t wait to snuggle up in fall sweaters and enjoy some tasty fall foods like this oatmeal.
