Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

There’s nothing better than fall in your breakfast bowl!

Pumpkin is a type of squash, and because it’s the fall, it and all the other squash (winter, butternut, etc) are in season.

After my morning spin class today I decided to get a little fall-festive, so I decided to add some unsweetened canned pumpkin (pumpkin is rich in anti-cancer beta carotene) to my oatmeal along with some pumpkin pie spice. This oatmeal is such a treat, delicious and so fall-like. This oatmeal is also a great way to refuel carbohydrate stores after a tough workout.

I often get asked the question of whether steel cut is really better than rolled, and frankly I usually recommend whatever is of preference. I prefer rolled oats, so that’s what I use- but if you prefer steel cut they’re both great!

Enjoy!
