Pumpkin Oatmeal

Last weekend, we tried a new recipe for some tasty, hearty oatmeal.   It's a modification of recipes I've seen before, mainly in that we used steel cut, quick cooking Irish Oatmeal.

It really was more of an assembly than any fancy cooking, but I followed the directions on the can for the oatmeal, except substituted almond milk.  Then I mixed in the canned pumpkin and seasoned with clove, cinnamon, & nutmeg, and a little brown sugar.

After cooking it all up, I poured a tiny bit of real maple syrup over the top and sprinkled on a few pumpkin seeds.   These my husband weren't fond of, but I liked the little bit of crunch, so might be a serve on the side thing next time.
