Waking up to Pumpkin...mmmm!

My favorite thing about fall is PUMPKIN! I really truly love all things flavored pumpkin. My friend recently stopped by an apple orchard and picked me up some homemade pumpkin butter! It is so delicious ... I have eaten it off a spoon, topped English Muffins, spread it on toast, slathered it on an apple, and then I thought....what if I put this deliciousness in OATMEAL!!!
And so I introduce to you PUMPKIN OATMEAL!


I was really in the mood for oatmeal, so I just pulled out the good ole Quaker Oats box and followed the recipe on the back with my few "special" additions! It was so yummy! The prefect fall treat!
PUMPKIN OATMEAL
3/4 cup Oats
1 1/2 cups Milk
Dash of salt
1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 cup Pumpkin Butter (I didn't actually measure this, just tasted as I added so if 1/4 cup isn't enough just add more!!)
On the stove boil your milk with the salt. Stir in the Oats, Pumpkin Pie Spice and Pumpkin Butter. Cook about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. I topped mine with a little bit of cool whip and cinnamon sugar!!
