I think it’s fair to say that fall is in full gear. The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisper, and warm meals are starting to become a necessity.
My biggest craving this time of year is oatmeal. When the air begins to change, there’s nothing like a warm bowl of oats first thing in the morning. My favorite addition to my oats is peanut butter, but homemade Nutella or melted chocolate are delicious as well.
I’ve been getting creative with oatmeal lately and this is one of my favorite recipes. Pumpkin is a fall necessity. Am I right?
