Vegan Mofo: Pumpkin Breakfast & Dessert

 

It's not October without pumpkin recipes! 

Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats


1/3 cup steel cut oatmeal (gluten free if you prefer)
1 cup water
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
12 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tbsp raw sugar or agave
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp granola or sugar free cereal (optional)
2 tbsp nuts (I used almonds and walnuts) 
splash of non dairy milk (optional)
 
Cook your steel cut oats and water according to package directions. Just before it is fully cooked, add the rest of the ingredients minus the cereal.  Finish cooking. Add it to your bowl and stir in cereal (I used Ezekiel Golden Flax which has 0 sugar, lots of whole grains and protein! It is not GF fyi). Feel free to add a splash of non dairy milk! Enjoy. It's very hearty and delicious.

with almond milk!


Pumpkin Pie Soft Serve


1 frozen sliced banana
4 tbsp canned pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin spice powder
a dash or two of nutmeg (go easy. you can always add more after you test taste)

Add the frozen banana slices to your food processor and being to process. Once they start to become a bit mushy, add the rest of the ingredients. 


Continue to process until nice and smooth! Test it to see if you need more spice or pumpkin.
 
 

If you've never made soft serve from bananas, you'll be amazed! The banana taste isn't super strong and they make for a very similar texture to soft serve ice cream. Not the exact same, of course, but close. Eat up because it melts quickly!
