Creamy Pumpkin Custard Oatmeal

All Purpose Veggies
Presenting the creamiest oatmeal I've ever made! The secret of this recipe is the egg and milk mixture added to the oatmeal during the heating process which creates a dreamy pudding, custardy texture. (And if anyone who's into pastry cream, this stuff is basically a custard in an oatmeal form).

Instructions
 

  • Place oats and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and let simmer until thick and bubbly. Keep whisking to avoid the hot oatmeal splattering. This should take about 3-5 minutes
  • Remove saucepan from heat
  • Add the pumpkin puree, honey and salt into the oatmeal and mix well so that the oatmeal cools**
  • Add the egg and whisk well.
  • Heat the oatmeal-pumpkin-egg mixture, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and add cinnamon, if desired.
  • Serve with additional honey or maple syrup if you wish to sweeten the oatmeal further.

Notes

* You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice. Honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived sweeteners. For the lower-calorie, reduced carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use sugar-free sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia (but be sure to convert according to package instructions as stevia differs by brand and form). 
**it is IMPORTANT that the pumpkin is added to the oatmeal AFTER the first step so that it cools down the oatmeal after cooking. This way when the egg is added, the egg doesn’t scramble
