Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal with Walnuts

It’s Fall. You’re in the mood for pumpkin. Don’t resist. Crack open a can of pumpkin puree and dig into this easy breakfast – Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal with Walnuts.

Did you know that we owe the tradition of pumpkin carving to Irish immigrants? When they settled in America in the 1800’s, they altered their tradition of carving faces on turnips to ward off evil spirits to carving pumpkins! Jack O’Lantern!

When that alarm goes off, you’ll bounce right on out of bed so you can hurry up and dive into this bowl of warm spices and creamy pumpkin deliciousness! This bowl of Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal is not your old sad bowl of oatmeal. It’s perfect alongside a mug of Georgia pecan coffee.

I can never use a whole can of pumpkin fast enough, so I freeze mine in these Tovolo silicon trays. Then pop one out when I’m ready to make this oatmeal.

I also freeze cubes of maple water. It’s a little secret ingredient that adds just a hint of sweetness. I also use the frozen cubes smoothies. It’s an optional ingredient in this recipe.

Is there such thing as too much pumpkin? I think not.
