Ingredients

1 cup dry oats, cooked

1/2 cup pumpkin purée

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

4 egg whites for protein (optional)

1/4 cup pecans per serving (I love using the candied pecans)

Maple syrup to taste 

Directions

Step 1 – Cook the oats according to package directions.

Step 2 – In the last 5 minutes of cooking (just take a guess, the oats should basically be pretty much done cooking), quickly stir in the eggs, being sure to stir vigorously so they get well-distributed. Then, stir in the pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice.

Step 3 – Put some oats in a bowl and top with pecans and maple syrup.

I love to add:

- A splash of cream and vanilla

- A Tbs. of brown sugar per serving
