Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

I wonder how much Splenda brown sugar would change the calories.

Sounds yummy! So hold long can I keep opened pumpkin puree in the fridge? Does it freeze well if I put it in small portions for easy thawing?

Should be fine for at least a week. You can also use it to make all kinds of baked treats, microwave single serve chocolate cake, pancakes, add it to chili, or mix with yogurt, spices and sugar free jello pudding mix for a light dessert.
But yes, it freezes fine

I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for posting!

This was really good. I made it with coconut milk and old fashioned oats and I also shredded an apple in. I think pumpkin and coconuts go together really well. Glad I made extra so I can have some tomorrow morning. Thanks for sharing.

If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, increase the brown sugar to 4 teaspoons for an additional 30 calories.

Or use Whey Low Gold - 4 calories per teaspoon and awesome

That sounds AWESOME I love pumpkin stuff!

I use at least 1/4 cup of pumpkin, less oats, and only microwave for two minutes. I also add 1/4 cup egg whites in lieu of some water and they fluff up nicely and add some extra protein. Serve with walnuts for healthy fats and omit the sugar if you are used to plain oats. Totally delicious :-)

Going to try this in the morning. Thanks!

I do this except I used way more pumpkin and way more oats :bigsmile: Both are super healthy and low cal! 1/2 cup of oats + 1/3 cup of pumpkin and you still have a really low cal breakfast - cook with 1/4 cup egg whites, serve with walnuts, yum! Not sure what I was thinking about when I posted originally... Must have been full! :noway:

I made it this morning and changed it a bit. I'll post in case anyone else is interested in what I did.
2 servings of Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Oats (96 grams)
1/2 cup of Aldi Bakers Corner - 100% Pure Canned Pumpkin (120 grams)
1 tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp of Ground Cinnamon
2 cups of water

Mixed all together and heated in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Ended up making 5 servings of 125 grams each (88 calories per serving). I ended up putting a 1/2 tsp of brown sugar on top of my bowl and mixing it in.
