It is officially looking like Fall in Southern California. FINALLY! To me, this means EVERYTHING PUMPKIN:) I loooove pumpkin. To be honest I want to order pumpkin spiced latte's and eat pumpkin bread, BUT after looking at the ingredients & calories I decided I definitely am staying away from sugary store bought treats. I made this oatmeal one morning, and have made it almost every morning since the first morning I made it. Try it and tell me if this healthy pumpkin breakfast does it for you! It is filling, low in calories, high in protein and delicious.
