Pumpkin Chai Oatmeal

April 12, 2016 by Kelly Dedeaux

Let’s give a WOOT WOOT for another super easy breakfast recipe! Yes, I’m a sucker for easy mornings – so naturally I rarely make a breakfast that isn’t simple. BUT it also has to taste great, right?! Luckily this Pumpkin Chai Oatmeal was a hit – especially with pumpkin-loving hubby!

After making this Apple Fritter Oatmeal awhile ago, I was determined to make one specifically for Nerd Dad’s love of all things pumpkin and chai. I’d call it a success with this tasty version! It’s definitely best warm/hot – but in my opinion all oatmeal is. Anyone like it cold? We agreed that topping it with dried cranberries really added to the flavor, so I highly recommend adding some of those in.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Chai Tea (already prepared)
1/4 cup Almond Milk
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Dash of Salt
3/4 tbsp. Maple Syrup
1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin
2-4 cups Oatmeal, prepared as normal
Raisins, dried cranberries, almonds or cinnamon for topping, as desired

Directions

In a small saucepan, mix the Chai tea, almond milk, vanilla and salt to a simmer over medium heat. When heated well, mix in the maple syrup and pumpkin.
Mix your pumpkin chai mixture into your prepared oatmeal, top as desired, and enjoy!

See, really easy and quick to make for a better morning. Plus, oatmeal is a filling breakfast, so you won’t be hungry as early – score! Hubby wants to try the pumpkin chai syrup in a drink recipe next – so stay tuned either here or on his blog for that delish drink! Yes, he cooks and creates yummy foods just as often as I do – one of the MANY reasons I’m crazy about that nerdy man!
