Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats

1/2 c steel-cut oats (aka Irish Oats)

2 c water

dash salt

1 c non-dairy milk

1/4 c pumpkin puree

2 TBSP maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)

2 pkts stevia (or about 2 TBSP sugar) – optional

1-2 tsp each cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice

Place oats and water in a large, microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15 minutes. Carefully remove bowl from microwave. Add remaining ingredients (pumpkin puree, seasonings, maple syrup, non-dairy milk) and stir to combine. Return to the microwave and cook another 5 minutes on high. Oats should be tender and creamy.

Allow oats to cool a bit before eating. If you want them to have extra globbiness, allow to cool significantly before eating.
