It is Autumn and pumpkin love is in the air, so a pumpkin spiced ( meal ) is in order. I was craving anything pumpkin pie spiced since last night so I have decided to make it for my breakfast.Oatmeal is a staple foodie for my breakfast. In the summer I enjoy it raw in Muesli but in winter I love to have it warmed up either as a stove top simmered oatmeal, oatmeal bread or oatmeal pancake.
Oatmeal's breakfast could be very rustic if served in the simple classic way, however you can easily glam it up by adding different spices, nuts, fruits or purees.
Today I am making a pumpkin pie oatmeal for breakfast. It is like having a dessert but for a fraction of the calories. Each puffy oatmeal is covered with a rich velvety pumpkiny creamy layer,,, yummy.
To boost my fibers intake, I've used trader Joe's organic multi grain cereal, it's made out of 100% whole grain rye, barley, oats & wheat. Having whole grain cereals for breakfast more often is a good habit. It would provide you with 2 grams of beta glucan soluble fibers . If taken as a part of healthy low saturated fat diet , it can reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases.
Who said we can't have pumpkin pie for breakfast after all !!
