This recipe is not only easy but also super versatile. You can switch up the toppings and spices to suit your taste.
Additional Preparation Tips
- Homemade Pumpkin Purée: If you're using fresh pumpkin, wash it, remove the seeds, peel, cut into pieces, and simmer in a pot with some water for 15 minutes until soft. Then purée it. Alternatively, halve the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds, and bake it skin-side up for 45 minutes at 180°C. After cooling, you can easily remove the skin and purée the flesh. Voilà – pumpkin purée ready!
- On the Go: If you like, you can prepare the oats directly in a screw-top jar to make it easy to grab and take with you the next day.
- Toppings: Add your favourite toppings to personalise your breakfast. Whether it's fresh fruit, nuts, or extra syrup – there are endless ways to make this recipe your own.
