Happy September!



Fall is by far my favorite season and I'm so happy that it's almost here. I think we should all celebrate with a little breakfast.



It's amazing what a great breakfast can do for your day. Especially a warm, fresh out of the oven breakfast.









Last year, I was staying at a friend's house and she told me that we had to make "boatmeal." I had never heard of baking oatmeal but I was such a fan of the regular stuff anyway I figured it had to be great. I was not disappointed.





Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal





1/3 cup oats

1/3 cup pumpkin puree

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

optional: add craisins, pecans, or chocolate chips! I choose craisins.





Preheat oven to 380 degrees F. Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a 1 cup ramekin or other baking dish. baked for about 18 minutes until firm then broil on high for 2-4 minutes until a golden brown crust forms.









Wait for it to cool down a bit enjoy!









I always end up flooding oatmeal with almond milk. It's like breakfast soup.













I sat in the backyard and ate while listening to the birds sing. My dog was eyeing me suspiciously the whole time.
