I love anything pumpkin, especially in the colder months!  This no oat-oatmeal is just like eating a warm pumpkin pie.  You can mix all the ingredients together and eat as is or you can mix them in a small pot on the stove until nice and hot.  This is a quick healthy and very delicious breakfast.  When making it hot you can add in one egg and whisk until you get the right consistency that you like your oatmeal, this will give it a thicker texture and add in some more protein!  

*Homemade pumpkin pie spice

2TBSP cinnamon

1TBSP ground ginger

1/2TBSP allspice

1/2TBSP ground cloves

1/2TBSP ground nutmeg

Fall is my favorite time of the year for many reasons, and pumpkin spice latte is one of them!  Here is a healthy version of one , or if your like me its the only kind around.  Living here in South Korea this latte is non existent so in order to get ones fix I had to get creative.
