Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

This is a modified version of a recipe that I found on pinterest. 

The weather here this weekend has been so fall-ish. And fall is my FAVORITE. I love everything about it... 

pumpkin spice candles, fall leaves, boots, sweaters, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread, and so on.

So when I saw this recipe on pinterest, and woke up to a "chilly" morning, I decided to whip this up for me and the hubs.

Like I said, I first found the recipe on pinterest, but I made a few small changes.

This makes 2 servings.

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup steel-cut oatmeal (or the regular stuff)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

maple syrup to taste

pecans

Bring the water to a boil. Add the oatmeal and lower heat to low. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until water is absorbed.

When oatmeal is *almost* done (just a little water remaining), add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, stirring to combine.

Serve with maple syrup and pecans.
