To say a food is so good that it could be called life-altering is simply ridiculous. This is a ridiculous post. There. I said it.
You know I have a thing for pumpkin. Actually, it's more than a thing, and fond isn't strong enough either. I think to say I have a deep yearning for all things pumpkin would be quite accurate. So when I was looking at flipboard the other night and came across a recipe for baked pumpkin oatmeal a weekend breakfast was planned.
I am a fan of steel cut oats already, but seriously this is the very definition of deliciousness in a bowl. It is better than pumpkin pie for breakfast. Heresy, I know. But it's true. You make it and then write me and tell me if you don't agree. Remember these pears I got at the farmers market last weekend?
Sunday morning they were at the perfect stage of ripeness to be chopped up to go on top of a bowl of baked pumpkin oatmeal, along with some greek yogurt, walnuts, and a drizzle of canadian maple syrup (thanks Jaen!)
This would be the perfect thing to serve your Thanksgiving houseguests. You can make it the night before. It's also easily transported to work. When my office mates get a load of this I will have to fight them off.
That is not a drizzle of maple syrup. That is drowning in maple syrup. YUMMY!
