Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Just like in life, when it comes to blogging you have to just roll with the punches.

This is actually not the recipe I had planned for today. The recipe I had planned was a savory pumpkin main dish. It also had a giveaway connected to it. But unfortunately, due to circumstances out of my control, it wasn’t ready to post today.

Bummer.

But good thing I have had an abundance of pumpkin lying around, and have been stirring it into everything lately. Read: There are more pumpkin recipes to come, not just part of pumpkin week!

And oh yeah it’s another oatmeal recipe.

So sorry if oatmeal is not your thang.

I happen to eat it for breakfast several times a week and I am always looking for ways to change it up. Make it taste like, well anything.

Enter in this week’s oatmeal recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal.

So simple, so classic, and yet takes that bland boring oatmeal to a pumpkiney breakfast sensation.
