Pumpkin Porridge (Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal)
A classic recipe for overnight oatmeal enhanced with pumpkin puree and spices. The result is a bowl of pumpkin porridge far more flavorful than commercial versions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats preferably organic
- 2-3 cups filtered water
- 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice optional
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 ounce butter
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2-1 tsp pumpkin spice blend
Instructions
-
Mix the oats, 2 cups of water, and lemon juice in a pot. Cover and leave on the counter (NOT in the refrigerator) for at least 7 hours or overnight. If you have trouble digesting grains, feel free to soak for as long as 24 hours. Alternatively, use sprouted oats with no soaking required.
-
When soaking is complete, add 1/2-1 cup additional filtered water to the pot. Bring to a boil with the salt. Cook oatmeal thoroughly for 5 minutes. You do not need to rinse the oats before cooking.
-
Once the oatmeal is fully cooked, remove the pot from the stove and blend in the butter, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin spice blend. Use a stainless steel hand-held blender for best results.
-
Serve immediately with whole sweetener of choice.
-
Refrigerate leftovers.
