Maple Pumpkin Chia Oatmeal - The Lemon BowlOh did you think I was kidding when I said how much I loved pumpkin? Obsessed might be a but of a understatement. Pumpkin is a low calorie, flavor-packed ingredient that is not only affordable but extremely versatile. Recently I shared ways to use pumpkin in smoothies, mac and cheese, granola bars and gluten free pancakes and today I’m sharing another favorite: pumpkin oatmeal!

Pumpkin RecipesMy love for pumpkin oatmeal is the result of having leftover pumpkin in my fridge. I don’t know about you but most pumpkin recipes only call for 1/2 – 1 cup of pumpkin. Inevitably, I always have a little leftover that I stash in the fridge for a later time.  Adding pumpkin to oatmeal not only adds a beautiful color but it adds vitamins, nutrients and a thick and creamy texture that can’t be beat.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it also tastes like pumpkin pie.

Your spoon is waiting.

  1. I will be making this tomorrow with the exception of using milk instead of water, pb instead of walnuts, and will be adding chopped organic gala apple. :)

  8. Eeeeeek I have so much leftover pumpkin in the fridge! Lately I’ve been whisking a couple tablespoons into almond milk with some pumpkin pie spice and maple syrup combined with coffee for a quick little wannabe PSL. There’s seriously so many delish pumpkin recipes out there right now that I can’t decide what to use my precious pumpkin on! I looooove chia in oats–I add a tablespoon every time! Can’t wait to try.
