I love a single serve recipe…hence I create a lot of them myself. It just makes life easier. I you want 1 serving, make the recipe as is, if you want more than one then just to a little bit of multiplication to bring up the serving sizes. Now I know you could just divide recipes up to create single servings, but if you’re like me and have done that before trying to use 1/3 of an egg, or 1/4 of a tbsp is just a pain in the bum. Whoever comes up with recipes to serve multiple people doesn’t think of us single people; particularly use single people who like lots of variety, particularly when it comes to trying new recipes.
What an intro!?
It is pumpkin season and over the next couple of weeks I have quite a few pumpkin focused recipes to share. I used to be pumpkin MAD! I was the crazy lady buying all the kabocha squash, eating half of one EVERY day and I had the orange hands to prove it. Not from cutting up pumpkin as you might assume, but the orange colour was actually seeping out through my pours; hello surplus beta carotene. As I write this I’m feeling in a particularly sarcastic humour, a bit of bad-ass so you’ll have to forgive my overall tone!
These pumpkin baked oats are cake like, naturally sweet with a little help from my maple friend, topped with mango stars and Coyo coconut yogurt which is back at the top of my food obsession list. I just love it’s thick consistency and natural coco-nutty sweetness. I prefer the consistency of the oats when fully cooled and actually refrigerated overnight but you can eat them fresh from the oven or reheat them in the microwave if you prefer. Lightly warmed is best to ensure you get the full flavour!
