I thought about naming this Chia Oatmeal Power Bowl with Maple Peanut Butter Pumpkin Swirl, Pecans, and Pumpkin Seeds my “Quadruple P Power Bowl”. I even thought about making this with walnuts instead of pecans, as in “Chia Oatmeal Power Bowl with Maple Peanut Butter Pumpkin Swirl, Walnuts, and Pumpkin Seeds” but that wouldn’t have the same seductive alliteration now would it??
Let’s be frank, the main reason for eating this super duper protein {18 g/svg!} and fiber {15 g/svg!} packed oatmeal power bowl is because it’s one more vehicle for noshing on my “oh-so-addictive” maple peanut butter pumpkin swirl.
The same stuff I’ve been drizzling and slathering on, well, pretty much everything lately.
It’s THAT good.
Oh, and as much as I want to you make this yummy chia oatmeal power bowl too, you can totally eat the maple peanut butter pumpkin swirl straight off a spoon too. #justsayin
Let’s get on to the recipe, shall we?
Which, BTW, will take you 7 minutes, TOPS, to make.
Seriously, I can’t think of a more delicious, OR nutritious way to start the day.
Chia Oatmeal Power Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oats {I use Bob’s Red Mill Certified Gluten Free Oats}
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup “milk” of choice {i.e. soy milk for vegan option or lactose free for low FODMAP option}
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon {roasted, lightly salted} pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Combine oats, chia seeds, “milk”, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and salt in a microwave safe serving bowl. Heat on high power in microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then heat on high for an additional 1 minute. Remove from microwave, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Combine peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and remaining 1 teaspoon of maple syrup in a small microwave safe dish. Heat on high for ~20 seconds, or until slightly melted. Stir ingredients well to combine.
- To serve: Swirl maple pumpkin peanut butter mixture into chia oatmeal, and top with pecans and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
