Pumpkin Hazelnut Oatmeal



This is my new favorite breakfast. Oatmeal is always a good breakfast choice because it is high in fiber which helps keep you full until lunchtime. By adding pumpkin and hazelnuts you are benefiting from protein and anitoxidents which will really help you get through the day. Besides that fact that pumpkin and cinnamon are perfect flavors for a cold autumn breakfast.

Ingredients

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of organic quick oats
1 pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup of organic pumpkin puree
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1-2 tbs of honey or agave syrup to taste
2 tbs hazelnuts chopped

In a small pan bring water and salt to boil. Once boiling add oats and pumpkin puree. Reduce to medium and let simmer for about 5 minute stirring occasionally. Add cinnamon and nutmeg after a about 2 minutes of simmering. Just before you take the oatmeal off the burner add honey and 1 tbs of hazelnuts. Stir together then pour into a bowl. Top the oatmeal with the rest of the hazelnuts and it is ready to serve.
