Pumpkin Noatmeal

I love fall. I pretty much love everything about it: crisp air, changing leaves, and of course... pumpkins! Pumpkin anything makes me happy. I opted for a "fall" breakfast this morning and was so pleased with the results.

handful of walnuts

handful of pecans

2 tbsp ground flax

3 eggs

1/2 cup pumpkin

1/2 c coconut milk

1/4 c water

2-3 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1-2 tsp vanilla

dash of nutmeg

dash of salt

In a blender, pulse the nuts until coarsely ground. Add in remaining ingredients and blend until mixed. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until thickened and heated through.

I served Aubrey's with some raisins, a pat of butter, and extra drizzle of maple syrup. She ate up the whole thing!

No-atmeal

I enjoy No Oat Oatmeal from MDA, but I'm constantly switching things up based on what I have in my kitchen (you know me... I do that ALL the time!). Here's my little version this morning...

1 handful of pecans

1 handful walnuts

2 tbsp ground flax

generous dash of cinnamon

small dash of nutmeg

pinch of salt

3 eggs

1/3 c (ish... I eyeballed it) coconut milk (if you like yours a little runnier add a couple of tbsp water)

1/4 of an apple

1/2 peach (no need to peel)

1. In blender or food processor, grind nuts, flax, and spices until you get a nice pulp.

2. Add in remainder of ingredients and blend until desired texture. (I like mine fairly smooth with a few nice chunks of nuts).

3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until desired thickness is reached.

Since I'm on a 30 day strict paleo challenge, I ate mine with some diced bananas on top on some melted coconut oil. Yum! For Aubrey, I did the same but drizzled honey on the top.
