Pumpkin Butter Oats Recipe

Happy Sunday everyone! I am SUPER excited about the line up I have planned for you all this week.  I think you are going to LOVE it.  I am working on a bunch of new recipes ~ some highlights include ~  a super cool VEGAN recipe involving chickpeas, a How-To and another pumpkin bread using another fall fruit ~ any guesses on the fruit?

OH and let me just say GIVEAWAYS!!! I am hosting my BIGGEST giveaway yet on Wednesday.  Ready for this ~ there will be 50 WINNERS!!!! I am so pumped for it – I cannot wait to share the details with you all.  I have a few other giveaways lined up for you all this month as well ~ I am jealous because I want to win them LOL.

I won another award and you all will get the chance to learn a little about me when I post it.

The Husband has a funny little post he plans on sharing this week, I think.  It is really just a picture, but, his commentary is always funny.

I also will be launching a cool new feature on my blog to allow you all to save/print/store my recipes soon (this week I hope).  I think you will LOVE it!

I think I may try balancing things by adding back posting my daily eats and workouts ~ fingers crossed I can do it and not take 1-2 hours posting in the evening.

On Tuesday, I give my speech about blogging to an entire group of women ~ ahhhh!  Being the planner I am, I have yet to write it up and put my presentation together.  Soooooo…..if you all have anything, any thought you think I can share, feel free to comment away.  I have to speak for 15 minutes 🙂

I think that sums it all up ~ so much fun stuff planned that I have a hard time not sharing and posting it all in one day 🙂 Instead, I’ll leave you with one MORE Pumpkin Butter use ~ I am pretty sure you could guess this was coming…..

PUMPKIN BUTTER OATS

1/2 c Quaker Old Fashioned Oats

1 c water or 1/2 water, 1/2 apple juice

1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Berry Blend

2 Tbsp Homemade Healthy Pumpkin Butter

1/2 Tbsp ground flax seed

Dashes of Cinnamon, Vanilla and Sea Salt

Combine the above in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 2 minutes.  Remove and add your desired toppings.

TOPPINGS:

1 Tbsp chopped walnuts, roasted in the microwave for 1 minute, 35 seconds

Sprinkle of Organic Unsweetened Coconut

~ This is also awesome topped with a drizzle of agave, almond butter or more PUMPKIN BUTTER!

Incredibly delish ~ I LOVE oatmeal and PUMPKIN OATS rock!  I promise, my pumpkin butter is all gone now :)  Would you believe me if I told you I am not even a HUGE pumpkin fan?  This year though for some odd reason, maybe I finally am becoming one.  It might be that whole trying something 12 times and then you like it philosophy. 

Alright ~ we are off for the day.  Have a awesome day all!
