I feel like my posts have been sort of lame lately. Sorry. Maybe they are. I’m just so chock full of brilliant ideas in the kitchen, I feel like I need to spread the love with everyone.
I may be going out on a limb here when I say there aren’t too many things better than a nice warm bowl of pumpkin oats. Breakfast of champions for sure. I think I just took pumpkin oats, and took it to a whole new level.
I give you…pumpkin oats in a pumpkin butter jar.
I was looking at the little bit left in my pumpkin butter jar (even though I still have the homemade goodness left). I was feeling all blue because I don’t live close enough to a Trader Joe’s to just go pick up another jar, and I was determined that not a single drop of this deliciousness would go to waste. Then the lightning bolt hit! If I can have oats in a jar, I can have oats in any damn jar I please. Including a pumpkin butter one.
Oh hell yes. I need more of this stuff now, but I will forever hold onto the amazingness that was this fantastic breakfast. I wish it could have lasted forever. I threw oats in the jar (duh), with some pumpkin puree. Once it was done in the microwave (by the way, I felt so much better microwaving and eating out of a glass jar than a plastic one. Anyone else?), I added some crackMighty Maple and a few butterscotch chips (brilliant breakfast addition, thanks Brandi!).
Truly, breakfast perfection. What a great way to start the day!
It was awful. I had to force myself to finish. Really. Maybe I should just go ahead and get in the car and drive to Pittsburgh so I could just buy another jar at TJ’s (TJ’s are you listening? Open a store closer to me please. Thank you. I believe I could singlehandedly keep you in business).
What’s your favorite way to eat oatmeal? Ever tried oats in a jar?
