Pumpkin Coconut Hot Cereal

This post brought to you by Libby’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s a known fact that I eat oatmeal every single day. I mean every. When Libby’s Pumpkin asked me to participate in a Spring #Pumpkin Can campaign, I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do. 

I know adding a vegetable into your morning oats sounds a little crazy, but pumpkin is that much of a rockstar that it works! Plus- you can get an entire serving of vegetables in your first meal of the day!

Why Libby’s Pumpkin Rocks My World

  • Fiber, Check.
  • Vitamin A, Check.
  • Amazing oil/butter substitution (can help reduce calories in recipes)
  • SUPERFOOD Status
  • Versatile- works in sweet and savory dishes

Oh I almost forgot…it’s available all year long AND can be portioned and stored in the freezer if you don’t finish the entire can. Uhmmm, yes.  Why do people think pumpkin only works in the winter? That needs to change ASAP!

Pumpkin mixed with coconut is DELICIOUS. The combination of flavors and the texture form the flax is incredible. Plus- with a scoop of almond butter, you’ve got yourself one heck of a breakfast.

Confession: I made 2 big batches of this recipe, put my leftovers in a tupperware and ate it the next morning for breakfast…COLD. Sort of like overnight oats. 

 

Lucky for you…Libby’s has TONS of other pumpkin recipes for you to check out. You can even enter for a chance to win a Vitamix Blender, which is on my list of kitchen gadgets I want! 

What’s your favorite thing to add pumpkin into?
