I mentioned in my last post how much I loved refrigerator oatmeal, and I wasn’t kidding. I have two batches of this pumpkin spice oatmeal marinating in my refrigerator right now. Tomorrow’s breakfast is going to be good!
In the fall, I make these pumpkin muffins quite a bit for the boys. When I first made them, I frosted them, but now I don’t. They’re so moist that they don’t really need the frosting. When I make them, there’s always some pumpkin left over. This oatmeal is a perfect way to use the extra pumpkin puree. You can make two batches of oatmeal with the remaining pumpkin.
I have a couple of peaches in my refrigerator. I might try to make a peach version next!
