Cinnamon, Pumpkin and Blueberry Oatmeal
Eat your oatmeal! That's a pleasure when it's pumped up with pumpkin, berries and cinnamon (and served with orange juice).

Ingredients:
Serves 2

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 stick cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup preserved pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in oats, salt, and cinnamon stick. Reduce heat slightly and boil 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes; stir frequently until oatmeal thickens.

Stir pumpkin into oatmeal; divide between two warm bowls and top each with blueberries.
