Oatmeal with vegan pumpkin spice
Have you ever found yourself with leftover canned pumpkin and have no idea what to do with it? That’s exactly how this comforting fall breakfast recipe was born.
My mom and I were talking about how annoying it is to have a small amount of canned pumpkin after making something seasonal like pumpkin bread, and I suggested that she make it for breakfast ASAP!
I told him yes Creamy oatmeal made with canned pumpkin, cinnamon and fall spices, lightly sweetened with dates and topped with a decadent drizzle of almond butter and not only is it delicious and filling, but it’s a great way to use up canned pumpkin so nothing goes to waste.
Tasty and organic. The best of both worlds, right?
I hope you make this Sweetened Date Pumpkin Oatmeal on a cold fall morning. It tastes like autumn in the best way and pairs perfectly with a cozy cup of coffee.
Enjoy!
