ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup optional frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon whole flaxseed
- 1/3 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 small diced apple
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
Method
Step 1
In a small pot over high heat, add water, cauliflower rice (if using), and salt. Let the mixture come to a boil, and then add your oats and flaxseed. Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for about 3-5 minutes - according to package instructions.
Step 2
Once oats are almost finished cooking, add in pumpkin purée and spices. *If you're using whey or casein-based protein, add about 2 tbsp water to a bowl with your protein powder and create a slurry before adding it to your oats - this is so that you don't get any grainy protein powder chunks in your oatmeal. **If using plant-based protein - you can just add it straight into your oats. Mix until well-combined and let cook until desired texture is reached - adding more water or milk if you want thinner oats.
Step 3
Spoon into a bowl and top with diced apples, almond butter, and any other additional toppings. I like adding banana, granola, plant-based creamer, and dried fruit.
