| Soaked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (In Cute, Festive & Kid-Friendly Shapes) |
Ingredients
Extra Tools Needed:
- Halloween cookie cutters
- 1 cup organic thick rolled oats (where to buy)
- 1 cup creamy rye oats (where to buy)
- 2 cups water
- 2 TBL raw apple cider vinegar (where to buy)
- 4 pastured eggs
- ½ cup melted virgin coconut oil (where to buy)
- ½ cup real maple syrup (where to buy)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (homemade here)
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp unrefined sea salt (where to buy)
- 1 tsp aluminum free baking powder (where to buy)
Instructions
For oatmeal
- Place oats, water and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Mix well and cover for at least 12 hours (24 is best)
- Once the oats are done soaking, in a separate bowl add eggs, coconut oil and maple syrup and beat until all are combined
- Add in pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, sea salt and baking powder. Mix really well (you could use a hand mixer if easier)
- Stir in pumpkin puree and mix until everything is combined
- Pour into a glass baking dish
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes
- Once cooled, take desired cutters and "cut out" the shapes and put into individual containers
To make faces:
- Make a cocoa paste by putting a tablespoon of cocoa powder and ½ tablespoon water. Mix together until it forms a semi-thick paste. Use a toothpick to make faces.
Notes
To make this ahead of time: Follow steps 1-5 (do this the night before you plan to bake the oatmeal). Place a cover on glass baking dish and set in the refrigerator. In the morning, just set the temperature and place pre-mixed oatmeal in the oven to bake!
