Vegan Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats with Pumpkin Pie Spices
Steel cut oats make a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Try this vegan breakfast of pumpkin steel cut oats with pumpkin pie spices and Mexican piloncillo.
The night before, mix the steel cut oats with the milk and store in a sealable or airtight container, then place it in the refrigerator.The next morning take out the oats from the refrigerator and set aside. Now heat a small pot and once hot add the coconut oil and allow to warm up. Next add the pumpkin puree and all of the spices, give the ingredients a good stir and cook until the puree thickens up a bit -- about 4 to 5 minutes.
Now pour in the soaked oats and stir until well combined. Add the piloncillo and again give the oatmeal a good stir. Taste it and see if the oats need more sweetener or spices. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Served topped with nuts and a few grains of pomegranate if desired.
Notes
*If you'd like, you may use pre-made pumpkin pie spice seasoning instead of using all of the different spices called for. But do taste and adjust the amounts to your liking.
