Guest Post: Jenn Eats Cream Cheesy Pumpkin

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…

jar

empty jar

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

Cooked jar 3

toppings jars 5

toppings jar 6

spoon 7

placemat 4

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,

Jenn

    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.

    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! :mrgreen:

    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! 🙂
