This is a recipe for a delicious and delightfully decadent yet healthy breakfast that is just perfect for these brisk fall mornings and will be great for the upcoming chilly winter mornings. Although it takes a little longer to prepare then a bowl of cereal or toast, it is very simple to make and it is totally worth getting up a few minutes early just to make it! This is totally a comfort food breakfast, it has the perfect hint of sweetness and spice, and it is comforting, filling, and satisfying. It has a wonderful pumpkin flavor and the spices will warm you right up from the inside out and keep you nice and cozy. If you are a lover of pumpkin, then be sure to give this a try! 

• 1 1/2 C. soy or almond milk or regular milk
• 1 C. pumpkin puree
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ginger (I omitted this)
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 C. rolled oats
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar 

In a large saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and spices over medium heat. When it starts to boil, add the oats and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the liquid has been absorbed. Sprinkle with desired amount of brown sugar and enjoy! (makes 2 servings)
