Pumpkin & Maple-Nut Oatmeal

  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 c. canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 c. rolled oats
  • 1 T. pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 T. pecans, chopped
  • 2 T. maple syrup
Combine water, pumpkin, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add oats and pumpkin pie spice.  When mixture starts to bubble again, turn heat down to low.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until oats are cooked and cereal has thickened, about 8 minutes.  Split between two bowls and top with pecans and maple syrup.

Serves 2; 362 calories.

VERDICT:  Warming and filling.  Very generous with the maple syrup and portion size.  Keep.  From Racing Weight Cookbook
