    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

    39
    By Alisa Fleming on September 2, 2015 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    We’ve arrived at Month 5 of my Dairy-Free 3-Book Journey, and I do have good news – one of my new dairy-free books is complete (now editing and all), and the other two are well underway! I’ll be officially announcing the finished book soon, we just need to redesign the cover as I changed the title. It’s over 100 dairy-free recipes plus menus and recommendations. Any guesses on the title? Though the book is done a version of this Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal recipe is one that I’m still waffling on adding. What do you think?

    Warm, comforting Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan)Each lean bowl of this pumpkin pie oatmeal packs a healthy dose of morning fiber! Add almond slices, chopped cashews, or just a touch of protein powder for another nutrient boost.

    One of the hardest parts in creating a cookbook is not necessarily developing the recipes, but rather deciding which ones to include and creating the menus. You want the recipes to be somewhat cohesive as a group, easy to swap in and out of a day, but you don’t want to get repetitive either. And as it turns out, I’m a bit obsessed with oats. It’s become a staple grain and flour in my recipes, equivalent to wheat flour in its rate of occurrence, so I wasn’t sure about adding another oat-based recipe. Granted, I don’t have an oatmeal recipe in the new cookbook, but granola and oat-y breakfast cookies are on tap.

    I know, we’ve just hit September, but I spotted sugar pie pumpkins on sale at the grocery store yesterday and knew that fall food was on and I could finally ask your opinion on this pumpkin pie oatmeal! It’s loaded with fiber-rich pumpkin and oats (of course!), but I use two types of oats – whole and quick – for textural reasons. The whole oats give the pumpkin pie oatmeal a heartier, rustic vibe, but the quick oats provide a creamier touch, especially with the addition of coconut milk beverage or cashew milk beverage.

    Warm, comforting Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan)Okay, I’m not going to win any food styling awards, but simply couldn’t resist playing with my food just a little!

    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: 5 servings
    Ingredients
    • 3 cups water
    • 2 cups Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk Beverage or Coconut Milk Beverage, plus additional for serving
    • 1 14-ounce can pumpkin puree (1½ cups)
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
    • ½ cup quick oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
    • Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)
    • Raisins, dried cranberries, or crystalized ginger, for garnish (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Whisk the water, milk beverage, pumpkin, maple, vanilla, pie spice, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
    2. Whisk in the old-fashioned oats, and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, whisking often to prevent sticking, for 10 minutes.
    3. Stir in the quick oats, and continue simmer, whisking often, for 5 minutes.
    4. Cover and remove from the heat; let sit for 3 minutes.
    5. Optionally serve with additional sweetener (maple syrup, brown sugar, stevia, etc), dried fruit, and / or milk beverage.*
    Notes
    *When craving something gently sweet and warming, I enjoy 1 serving of this delicious pumpkin spice oatmeal with 5 to 6 drops of vanilla stevia and a small handful of organic raisins stirred in. For a breakfast cereal experience, I then pour on a generous drizzle of unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage.

    So What Do You Think?

    Add a version of this pumpkin pie oatmeal to my book? Make another unique oatmeal flavor for the book instead? What’s your favorite oatmeal flavor? Is it too early to be posting pumpkin recipes or are you like me, eager to enjoy fall flavors the second the calendar flips to September?

    3-Book Journey Update & Goal

    If you are a Go Dairy Free fan, then you know that I’m all about information, too. This month, I’m excited to dive into some research on several dairy-free health topics. I’ve scratched the surface on some intriguing findings, but plan to get in there more and learn real world tips on how to live well dairy-free. Of course, there will be more recipes to work on too! On my list I’ve got some homemade cheese, milk and ice cream recipes to create, plus some fun everyday options, like instant oatmeal and “cream of chicken” soup!

      Totally adorable! And yummy and nutritious, of course! Because I’m not a fan of the raisins, I’ll use cranberries or slivered almonds for my smiley face. 😉
