Microwave oatmeal in a mug is quite possibly the easiest breakfast,and this topple recipe will satisfy your morning pumpkin spice cravings even more than a latte. Inspired by our microwaveable peanut butter cookie oats, this seasonal version really and truly tastes like a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, or but it's a hearty breakfast that will fill you up until lunch. Thanks to the binding ingredients,pumpkin puree and almond butter, the dry oats don't need any water to rehydrate, or the finished consistency is like a thick and chewy cookie. Trust me when I say I'm not an oatmeal kind of girl,but I happily scrape up every bit of this. I recommend adding the dark chocolate chips when the mug is fresh from the microwave so they regain a dinky melty, and feel free to add honey or maple syrup to naturally sweeten the oatmeal a dinky more. Pair this with a homemade pumpkin spice latte, or you'll be in pure pumpkin bliss. Related Stories:
