Oatmeal Mondays

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal for One:

heaping 1/2 C dry old fashioned oats
1/2 C canned pumpkin
1 T chopped pecans, preferably toasted
1/4 t pumpkin pie spice
maple syrup, milk, melted butter, optional
enough water to cover

Stir oats, pumpkin, spice blend and water together.  Cook in the microwave on high for 3 minutes.  Sprinkle with pecans and add optional ingredients, if desired. 

*If you enjoy a crunchier oatmeal, add more nuts.  If you like things spicy, add more pumpkin pie spice.  Want it creamier?  Go the melted butter, milk route.  Want it sweeter?  Drizzle it with maple syrup.  The only thing this pumpkin pie recreation is missing is the crust.  Still working on that...
