Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal
This is one of my absolute favorite oatmeal recipes. All the goodness of the fiber rich oats, boosted with Vitamin A and C packed pumpkin. Topped with crunchy toasted pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup, it’s like dessert you can eat for breakfast and feel really good about.
I seriously can’t stop eating this. Although my month of pumpkin recipes is coming to an end, the best part is that with canned pumpkin, you can enjoy these recipes all year long!
