Description
This pumpkin oatmeal is powered up with pumpkin, bran, and egg whites. This is my all-time favorite oatmeal for the morning!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup fiber or bran cereal (i.e. Fiber One original)
- 1 cup water or milk
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup egg whites, beaten
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- pumpkin pie spices, to taste (I use cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and allspice)
- cream, milk, or evaporated milk optional
Instructions
- Combine oats, cereal, water or milk, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil until and stir until mixture starts to thicken slightly.
- With one hand, pour in the egg whites and stir continuously with the other hand (if you don’t, the egg whites will get scrambled, which is not yummy).
- Mix in pumpkin, sugar, and seasoning and heat until warmed through. Serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
I often top mine with butter. Shh.
