After a holiday weekend of giving thanks, I decided to end the month as I started it - with pumpkin! So before I went to bed, I added some nutty and delicious steel-cut oats to boiling water and turned off the heat. I woke to softened oats and stirred in almond milk, lots of pumpkin, spices, maple syrup, and even crystallized ginger. Soon the scent of the warm spices filled the air, and I was serving up steaming bowls of Pumpkin Spice Steel Cut Oatmeal. I topped it with some pecans, a little more ginger, and a splash of syrup and was soon loving every spoonful. This was delicious, and the perfect way to start my week.

The night before cooking the oatmeal: bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the oatmeal, and cover. The next morning heat the mixture with the almond milk. Add the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Simmer until, the liquid reduces, and the oatmeal thickens. Stir in the crystallized ginger and syrup. Cook and a few minutes and serve.
