Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana* sliced
  • 1 cup rolled oats gluten free if needed
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree may sub homemade or canned sweet potato puree

Instructions
 

  • For the Pumpkin Oatmeal
  • Add all oatmeal ingredients (except for maple syrup) into a medium saucepan. Stir to combine well and place over medium-low heat.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until oats are soft.
  • Taste and stir in maple syrup, 1 tbsp at a time, to desired sweetness
  • Quick Candied Pecans
  • Roughly chop pecans.
  • Toss chopped pecans, cinnamon and maple syrup into a small skillet or sauté pan. Mix till well combined.
  • Cook over medium-low heat stirring occasionally. Syrup will initially look very thin, then start to bubble. When it begins to bubble, stir constantly to avoid burning for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt if desired and give it a quick toss and then divide between two bowls of oatmeal!
