I’ve been seeing the usual fall selection of pumpkins and winter squash in the market for a couple of weeksnow, so, I thought it might be nice to put them to some use. Here is a quick and easy way to have some fresh pumpkin or winter squash (Butternut, Hubbard, Tan Cheese…etc.) to use for breakfast.

- Milk -250 ml (1 cup)
- Pinch of cinnamon – 1/8 teaspoon
- Vanilla sugar -1 teaspoon
- Honey – 1 tablespoon
- Butter – 1 tablespoon
Directions
- In a saucepan combine milk, honey, butter, cinnamon, vanilla sugar, and bring to a simmer on medium-low heat.
- Grate pumpkin with a coarse grater.
- When the milk with spices starts to simmer, add the pumpkin, and stir
gently.
- When milk with pumpkin starts to simmer again, add oatmeal, and slow simmer
for 10 minutes.
