Pumpkin Oatmeal Tastes Great

Pumpkin Oatmeal Tastes Great

By Chuck · 1 Comment ·

Every year near the Autumnal Equinox, our Paleo ancestors hunted for Pumpkins.

Two weeks ago I posted a story and a recipe about cold oatmeal. The story stimulated a lot of conversation regarding the Pro and Con of “Militant Paleoism”. Hmmm, perhaps I should copyright that phrase, or at least register it as a new domain name.

Today, perhaps the debate will be rekindled, but my real reason for posting is because I have a wonderfully tasty “New England Autumn” variation on cold-served oatmeal.

When you add these 9 Simple Ingredients to your oats, you have Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal.

Recipe

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon of Sunflower Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon of Raisins
  • 1 Tablespoon of Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup of pureed Pumpkin
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 2/3 Cup of Coconut Milk

Blend all the ingredients in a large Mason Jar or a 2 Cup Bowl with a lid, shake and refrigerate overnight. You can serve it cold, or warm it in the microwave. Yeah, I know, Cavemen did not have microwaves. I got news for you, they didn’t have Mason Jars and Refrigerators either. Work with me on this will you?

I like to serve mine with about four ounces of vanilla yogurt scooped on top. This is like eating dessert for breakfast. Now that is a treat after setting a PR for Back Squats at the gym today. Yeah, I know. Cavemen didn’t have barbells.
