{SavourTheSeason} Day 11: Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

I don't want to complicate this simple autumn breakfast with a big fancy explanation.  It's warm, it's comforting, it's pumpkin-y, and it's goooood.  Do try it.

In a large pot, combine:

• 2 cups of milk
• 2 cups of water
• 1 cup of pumpkin puree
• 1 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice
• a small splash of vanilla (who can be bothered to measure vanilla before 8am?)
• 2 cups of rolled or "large flake" oats

 Bring everything to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed and desired consistency is achieved.  Top with some brown sugar or pure maple syrup and a splash of milk.  So simple you can make it before you've had your morning coffee.
