Happy Humpday friends!
A have a simple, tasty, and fun recipe to share with you guys…
I was feeling a little creative in the kitchen this morning so I threw together a little something new – baked oatcakes with a quick pumpkin sauce.
Of course, breakfast wouldn’t be breakfast without coffee!
Can you tell I’m feeling festive? Oh yes, the Christmas decorations are slowing emerging from storage (and ok, I may have picked up a new item or two). 
Anywho, the oatcakes were just ok (so I won’t be sharing the recipe…yet), but the pumpkin sauce could become a new favorite! I made the sauce using a mere 3 ingredients: canned pumpkin, milk, and maple syrup. The reason I like it is because it’s new and different, more healthful (hello veggie serving!), and not nearly as sweet as straight-up maple syrup would be. Besides being healthy, fun, and only using a couple ingredients you could easily have in your pantry, it’s also super quick!
I just added a little of that homemade maple cinnamon granola on top for some extra crunch.

This looks FABULOUS! Love your turquoise coffee mug too
Your pumpkin sauce looks so thick & creamy – yummy
.
I’ve made a similar sauce before, and you are right – it quickly became a favorite in our house! The oatcakes look great too!
Looks fabulous to me. Can’t wait for the recipe.
Nice, nice! Easy sauces like that are perfect to make a simple recipe feel fresh and festive.
Holy wow! This looks luscious! I’ve never described food like that before!
that looks sooo good!
I am definitely going to try this- great idea!
P.S. How can you be this creative in the morning? I’m good at creative meals in the evening when I’m fully awake, but you get new recipes done before even going to work? You’re a kitchen ninja!
Ooooh, I’m definitely going to have to try out this pumpkin sauce. I’m not a *huge* fan of maple syrup and I think this would be a great alternative for me
this would be lovely on meee oats!
This looks divine! And super simple, too! I’ll definitely be having this on waffles, oatmeal and pancakes! Thanks girl!
I love the sauce recipe, and I feel like you could use it for so many things!
I was looking for a sauce to go over some muffin sized cheesecakes. This looks easy enough and hope it helps cut the sweetness of the cheesecake. Thanks for posting!
