Nothing like a big bowl of oats to get you out of bed on chilly mornings. We took it up a notch with this Pumpkin Spiced Porridge by using chewy steel cut oats, adding chia seeds for extra fibre, and being heavy on the spices for a flavourful, nourishing breakfast with endless topping possibilities.
Instructions
1
In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, salt, spices, maple syrup and milk together. Bring to a simmer then stir in the oats and reduce heat to medium low and continue to simmer until oats are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Divide between two bowls and serve with desired toppings.
