Hello, KERF readers!
Kath inspired me to try pumpkin oatmeal and oatmeal in a jar, so, I’d like to share my "pumpkin oats in a jar" topping experiment with you. I love pumpkin bread or muffins with cream cheese, and thought that it might taste good on pumpkin oats, too. So, I gave it a try and let me tell you, it was AWESOME!
I used an almost-empty jar of Naturally More peanut butter (~2 TBSP left +/-) as my nutty vehicle of choice…
I made the oats on the stove top with:
- 1/2 cup (40g) Quaker 100% rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s 100% pure canned pumpkin
- 1 medium banana
- Dash of pumpkin pie spice
- 2 packets Truvia zero calorie sweetener
The toppings:
- 1 TBSP Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 7g unsalted peanuts
- 5g roasted & salted pumpkin seeds
If you like pumpkin bread/muffins with cream cheese, then I highly recommend trying your pumpkin oats with cream cheese on top, it’s heavenly!
And yes, that is just plain water in my cup. LOL
Enjoy,

Ahh! I’ve been dreaming of pumpkin & cream cheese on toast–but i think your way trumps that!!
I have never thought of putting cream cheese on my oats.. BUT I am defiantly going to try it

Oh snap that looks good!
My own blog has me craving oats!!!
wow those look and sound amazinggg!
What a great idea. I love this time of year, with all of the pumpkin recipes popping up everywhere!
I wonder how it would be with fresh pumpkin (cooked of course). I love buying up a bunch of pumpkins now while they are cheap. I try to cook them and freeze so I can use them throughout the year, and avoid the canned stuff.
Delicious. I did pumpkin oats in a butter toffee peanut butter jar a few weeks ago–heavenly
Wow, this looks yummy and I’m so going to adjust it a bit (no nanner too carbtastic for this diabetic) and give it a try! I adore pumpkin anything!
Never thought of adding cream cheese to oats! Soo tempting.

That looked amazing! I’m dying to try that type of nut butter.
This sounds soooo great and I think I will try it really soon. So you did not use any liquid to make the oats or you cooked them and then added pumpkin, banana…?
Thanks, everyone!
Stacie: I boiled 1 cup of water, then added the oats, banana, pumpkin, sweetener and pumpkin pie spice and cooked it all together, mixing and mashing the banana and pumpkin as it cooked down. Sorry, I should have mentioned that!

I never thought of this but I love cream cheese on pumpkin bread and cream cheese frosting on the mufins. Thanks for the awesome idea!

I have never had cream cheese in oats, but this looks sooooo good!
