Homemade peanut butter combined with pumpkin puree along with steel cut oatmeal and cooked into porridge is the best breakfast ever I can have this season. So much holiday flavors and yet healthy, along with balanced nutrition. Feeling satisfied 🙂
I like to start my mornings with a cup of tea followed by my intense workout and then end it with a hearty and wholesome delicious breakfast. Usually warm porridge is my first option especially if it’s the 4th quarter of the year 🙂
I love the chewy texture of steel cut oatmeal and so these days most of my oatmeal recipes consists of steel cut oatmeal. I find it more flavorful as well, compared to quick oatmeal, but feel free to use your choice of oatmeal. Since mornings are hectic for most of us I prefer cooking breakfast within 15 minutes so that I can eat my morning meal even on weekdays.
For this I simply boiled water with salt and added oatmeal followed by fresh goeey peanut butter and aromatic fall pumpkin puree, cooked in almond milk and lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup. Yum!!!! Can’t stop my cravings for this delectable warm bowl of Peanut Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Porridge.

Notes
Feel free to use almond butter for this recipe instead of peanut butter if desired.
If kept for long the liquid will be absorbed and the oatmeal will thicken. Add more milk in the warm porridge depending on your choice of consistency and mix. (No need to cook further).
Tastes best when served immediately.
