Directions
Place 3 cups of oats in a large mixing bowl. Add vanilla to milk and then add to oatmeal. Stir to moisten oats. Add spices (cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon) to oatmeal and stir. Combine pumpkin puree with oatmeal. Set aside.
Place brown sugar (or date sugar), syrup, water and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high for 45 seconds. Wisk mixture and make sure sugar is dissolved. (Return to microwave for an additional 10 seconds if sugar hasn’t dissolved.) Add nuts to mixture and stir to coat.
Using a rubber spatula, transfer nut/sugar mixture to oatmeal and stir to combine. Place in air tight container and refrigerate overnight. When ready to enjoy, simply place individual serving (1 heaping ½ cup serving) into microwave save bowl. Heat in microwave for about 1 minute, stirring and adding additional milk, if desired. (OR eat it cold like my kids do!!) Optional, top with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon and ginger or add some pumpkin or hemp seeds to boost protein! Enjoy!
