Lazy Pumpkin Oatmeal

Lately I have been trying to do the clean eating and I had to find a way to get whole grains into my diet more. I love oatmeal but being gluten free it is a pain you can only eat certain types of gluten free oats and honestly I do not have time in the morning to cook a nice pot of it. So I have not been eating much oatmeal and I kind of miss it! Well I bought some canned pumpkin this week and thought hey maybe the oatmeal and pumpkin together will bake like a pie but in a portable slice I can carry to work.


And so this is how my Lazy Pumpkin Oatmeal came to be:

Lazy Pumpkin Oatmeal

Ingredients:

	2 cup(s) canned pumpkin
	1 cup(s) uncooked old fashioned oats
	4 item(s) egg white(s)
	1/2 cup(s) SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener
	3 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:
Mix punpkin sugar and egg whites
Add cinnamon
Slowly add the oats and mix well
Bake in a greased crock or pie dish for about 30 min at 350
Cut into 4 even pieces and each piece is only 2 points!


 I baked mine in a small crock so that I would have nice thick quaters to take to work. It came out whole as a nice round lil loaf:

 And it came out great! I had to have a piece warm last night it was too good to resist!

This is a simple 4 ingredient recipe you can whip up in literally 5 minutes and set to bake and you are done! It made 4 servings and only 2 points per serving!!! I had a cold piece today at work for my mid day snack and it was so tasty! The oats were just soft enough to enjoy and the pumpkin tasted similar to pumpkin pie. So if you love oatmeal like me but hate the time and mess it makes cooking it slowly over the stove you have to try this!

Next week I am trying it with apples =)
