Pumpkin Pie Coming Right Up…
My family loves having me home over break because I sort of become designated personal chef 
I don’t mind though!
My Dad had an early meeting this morning and asked me last night if I could make him some oatmeal for breakfast. When I asked what kind he wanted, the first words that came out of his mouth were pumpkin pie. Looks like the pumpkin apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. 
Here’s what I came up with:
OAT-SO-GOOD PUMPKIN PIE
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 thinly sliced banana
- 1/4 cup pumpkin
- 2 tbsp sugar-free Torani Vanilla syrup
- Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice
- 1 tsp. walnuts
- 1/4 graham cracker, crushed
Directions
Using my microwave method, I stirred all of the above ingredients (except for graham cracker) into a microwave-safe bowl, the night before. I put the bowl in the fridge with a note of instructions for my Dad to follow in the morning.
The before shot:
In the morning:
Remove from fridge. Microwave for 2 minutes (stirring occasionally).
Remove from microwave, stir some more and top with a delicious graham cracker crust.
Finished product:
I enjoyed the same breakfast later this morning with my signature cuppa foamy joe—today it was Dunkin Donuts Original Blend.
This breakfast was delish, and my Dad left me a note giving this recipe his two thumbs up!

On a non-breakfast-related note:
One of my favorite things about Simply Savor is being able to connect with my readers and the community here! So I’m inviting you all to participate in a fun little Q+A at the end of each post so that I can get to know each of you a bit more. Nothing crazy, just a fun question for you all to share your own experiences/tips/recipes and create more of a community here at Simply Savor!
Let’s start with something simple…
What’s your favorite breakfast?
Breakfast is my favorite meal so this is a toughy—I’ll narrow it down to 3:
1) oatmeal (obvi)
2) cereal w/ frozen blueberries
3) pancakes (preferably chocolate chip-banana)
Happy Tuesday!
This looks like the perfect breakfast… aside from the choco-oats you posted the other day
My all time favorite breakfast is a veggie omelet filled with mushrooms!
pumpkin is hands down my favorite oats add in — I wish I had some right nowwww.
oatmeal or a smoothie (with spinach in it of course!!!)
