I think of Fall foods and Pumpkin comes to mind immediately. I love the pumpkin spice flavor! However, so many pumpkin flavored baked goods are loaded with sugar, artificial coloring, and preservatives. To me, it's just not worth it.
This baked pumpkin oatmeal has NONE of those! You should leave your breakfast table feeling satisfied and energized, not heavy, bloated, and sluggish. Plus, it is "Picky Kid Approved!" Part oatmeal, part oatmeal bar, part "cookie" as my daughter calls it.
Real pumpkin, or butternut squash is loaded with beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant and converted to vitamin A in the body. Research indicates that beta-carotene rich foods are powerful in fighting cancer cells and heart disease. Pumpkin is a great source of potassium and contains notable amounts of vitamin c, magnesium, and folate as well!
