Spiced Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats
"Make a batch of these spiced pumpkin steel cut oats on the weekend and you’ll have a whole bunch of EASY weekday breakfasts ready to go! I’m head over heels and I want to share it with you…crazy in love with steel cut oats, that is. Isn’t that a totally normal thing to be in love with? I was 1000% confident that I was a ‘non-oatmeal’ person, that oatmeal was a mushy, sticky bowl of gross that I didn’t want to touch. And ‘how could people eat that’?! But then I tried these Spiced Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats!"
