Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a medium pot over high heat.
Add oats and lower temperature to a simmer. Simmer oats for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When oats have cooked for about 5 minutes, stir in chia seeds, pumpkin puree, mashed banana, seasonings and a stevia packet (optional). With this method, you may need to stir a little more often during the last few minutes of cooking. Depending on the consistency that you prefer your oats, you also may want to add more water or almond milk.
