Pumpkin Pie for Breakfast? ~ THM: Pumpkin Pie Waffles (S) & Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (E)

I love pumpkin pie. I love being able to have those wonderful flavors for breakfast. With having roasted and put back over 60lbs of pumpkin in the freezer I can have pumpkin now, and in the days to come. 

Here are two fun breakfast. One for that Satisfying S morning. The other for when you need that Energizing E meal. 

Pumpkin Pie Waffles w/Cranberry Compote (S)
Single Serving

Start heating your waffle iron
In a small bowl mix wet ingredients
2 eggs beaten until emulsified 
1 TBS butter or coconut oil
2 TBS Pureed Pumpkin
2 TBS Water, or Almond Milk (any allergen safe FP milk will work)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 doonk THM Stevia (optional)

In a second bowl mix dry ingredients
2 TBS + 2 tsp Flax meal
1 TBS + 1 tsp coconut flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 pinch of unrefined Salt

Mix together all the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients and mix well. Let the batter sit a min. Poor into the heated waffle iron. Cook according to directions for your iron.

Cranberry Compote

1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1 TBS Apple Sauce* or 1 doonk THM Stevia
1 TBS water
2 to 3 tsp coconut butter

Heat in the micro 1 min and then stir. Heat 30 more seconds and stir again.
Or
Heat on med on the stove top with 2 to 4 TBS of water stirring occasionally.

I make the waffle's and compote sweetener free. 

*You can use pureed pumpkin in place of the apple sauce. White pumpkin is light in color with a subtle pumpkin flavor. It is very sweet. It makes a perfect sugar sub. It sweetens without really adding the pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (E)
Serves 6 to 8

In a 3 to 4 qt sauce pan add
4 cups Water
1 cup pureed pumpkin canned or home cooked.
1 TBS Pumpkin Pie Spice

Bring to a boil and then add
2 1/2 cups of Old Fasion or Rolled Oats
1/2 tsp High Mineral Salt
Give the oats a quick stir.

Turn down the burner to low and simmer for 5 min. Stir the oat again and simmer another 5 min. Stir the oats one more time and remove from the heat. Let them sit another 5 min. Stir and serve 1 cup servings. 

You can add 1 tsp of butter or coconut oil plus 1 tsp MCT oil to your oats. These also make good Anabolic Oatmeal (p. 230 of the Trim Healthy Mama book)
