FALL FLAVOURED OATMEAL: CREAMY SWEET POTATO & MAPLE TAHINI DRIZZLE

So here’s a simple, delicious way to pimp your oatmeal bowl as the days get shorter and the world turns gold and ember…

Fall To-Do List: 1. Stock up on comfy brown (chocolate) and orange (sweet potatoes, pumpkins, butternuts) foods. 2. Repeat.

Does anyone feel me? 😆

If you’re looking for ways to inject more comfort foods into your life, I gotchu. Here’s my favourite oatmeal bowl of the season—all the flavours of autumn swirled together into pure breakfast BLISS.

All you need is a sweet spud, a little tahini, smoky maple syrup, and toasty pepitas (check out my speedy-simple tutorial on soaking and roasting pumpkin seeds, here.

For some more Fall deliciousness, there’s also this heavenly Roasted Butternut Oatmeal with Jammy Cardamom Blueberries, this Pumpkin Spice & Cashew Butter Smoothie, my road trip brekkie go-to, Pumpkin & Star Anise Baked Oatmeal, and an Earl Grey Pumpkin Latte that’s sounds like Crazy Town but tastes like freakin magic.

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, use a wooden spoon to stir together oats, almond milk, maple syrup and cinnamon. Simmer on a medium heat, stirring every now and then, until the oats are tender (around 5 or so minutes). Add dashes of more milk if the oats aren’t yet cooked, but the liquid has been absorbed.
2. Stir through the sweet potato. 
3. Drizzle with tahini, soya cream, and a little extra maple. Sprinkle lavishly with toasty pepitas and a dusting of black sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
