Crash, Bang, Good Morning

Good Morning! It’s been a bit of a messy morning over here but all is well and cleaned up now. I picked up pumpkin yesterday to make pumpkin pie oats for breakfast today and everything was going so well until I went to get the flaxmeal out of the freezer. I bumped my elbow and it was crash, bang, flaxmeal and glass all over the kitchen floor.

After a big sweep of the kitchen, which needed it anyways, everything was cleaned up and it was time for Pumpkin Pie Oats!

Pumpkin Pie Oats for two
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 3/4 cup water
1/2 cup pumpkin pie puree
1/4 cup unsweetened hemp milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coconut sugar
2 tbsp flax meal (that I saved)
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp almond butter
4 tbsp raisins

Combine the oats and water in a small pot over high heat; bring to a boil then turn down to low and cook for 3-5 minutes. Once the oats are cooked stir in the pumpkin pie puree, hemp milk, cinnamon, coconut sugar, flax, and chia seeds. Divide into two bowls and top each with half of the almond butter and half of the raisins.

With my oats I swapped out my normal cup of coffee for a mug of Awake tea. I love this tea since I have been working on reducing my coffee intake to 1-3 cups per week.

Past weekend trip photos
When I was uploading the photos of breakfast I found photos from when we went to Northampton for the night back on the last weekend of August. Check out the these ones from breakfast at Cafe Esselon.
