Kabocha Squash Maple Oatmeal

• 1 cup water or milk of choice
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup kabocha squash puree
• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 dash salt
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 15 whole pecans

1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan over the stove.
2. Add the oats to the water, reduce to a simmer (medium-low heat), and cook for 5-7 minutes until the water is absorbed.
3. Crack the egg into the oats and whisk constantly for one minute, so that it is thoroughly combined with the oats and cooks through (you should not see any noticeable bits of egg).
4. Whisk in the kabocha puree and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds.
5. Stir the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup. Remove from heat, serve in a bowl, and top with the pecans.
