0.85g

7g
1 oz pecans
27g
1 oz raisins

Instructions:

2. Add Pumpkin and Spice:
- Stir in 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until the pumpkin is fully incorporated and the spice is evenly distributed.
3. Incorporate Protein Powder:
- Gradually add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to the oatmeal. Stir continuously to ensure it mixes in smoothly and there are no lumps.
4. Sweeten with Maple Syrup:
- Add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Nuts and Fruit:
- Mix in 1 ounce of roughly chopped pecans and 1 ounce of raisins.
6. Heat Through:
- Allow the oatmeal to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired consistency and is heated through.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl.
- If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a few additional chopped pecans and raisins for extra flavor and texture.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, you can substitute part or all of the water with milk or a plant-based milk alternative.

- Toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the oatmeal for an enhanced nutty flavor.

- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or substituting it with honey or agave nectar if desired.

- If you prefer a thicker oatmeal, reduce the amount of water or increase the cooking time slightly.

- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract to the mixture while cooking.
