I made this for for breakfast today while Mom and Dad are visiting. It is so good and really warmed us up on a cool fall day! It makes about four 2 cup servings.
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups water, extra if needed
1 cup grated winter squash or pumpkin
1 pear
1 apple
1 tbs agave nectar or honey
1 tsp to 1 tbs cinnamon, depending on how you like it
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
pinch cloves
1/3 c almond milk (can substitute regular milk)
chopped almonds, optional
In a large saucepan over medium heat, place oats, water and squash. While oats are cooking, chop pear and apple. Add a little water if oats become too thick. Once the oats are cooked, about 5 minutes, add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Serve with chopped almonds on top, if desired.
