Creamy oatmeal with sweet butternut, cinnamon and crunchy pecans is a warm autumn breakfast to wake up for.

Why add butternut to oatmeal?

Butternut makes oatmeal creamier and adds gentle sweetness that works well with cinnamon. Pecans bring crunch and make the breakfast more filling. It is a warm start for cold mornings.
