Pumpkin Pear Stove Top Oatmeal

Pumpkin...I like pumpkin. When its mixed into something else.

 

I can't eat it straight. Its horrid and strong in...weird flavour. When mixed into oats with some maple syrup and spice its fantastic. But by itself...Blah! Pumpkin juice especially. I tried some from Harry Potter world and I had to spit it out.

Pumpkin Pear Stove Top Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup/40g Rolled Oats

1 Cup/240ml Liquid of choice, I use 2/3 Almond Milk 1/3 Water

Pinch of Salt

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

1-2 Tsp Maple syrup, or to taste

1/3 Can 1/2 Cup of Pumpkin Puree

1 Ripe Pear, peeled and diced

Big handful of Walnuts

 

Optional: 1 TBSP Flaxseed

Method:

1. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the oats and salt and reduce the heat. (Add the flax now.)

2. Add the pear straight away to soften. When more liquid has absorbed add the pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla and spice. Add extra liquid if its to thick for you.

3. Once the oats reach a consistency you like transfer to a bowl and top with the walnuts and and extra dash of spice. Enjoy!
