(4 from 4 votes)This pudding is wonderful! I used pumpkin oat milk, which happened to be a seasonal item at my store, and the additional pumpkin made it even more scrumptious!
How many calories per serving?
I used 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg/cloves. My partner said "it tastes like Thanksgiving!" But, I think it was missing something despite the tastiness. He cut out sugar a decade ago, but my taste buds are still adjusting, so maybe later on, I'll like it more.
This is so good! I rarely get to eat sweet breakfast because I can’t digest fructose. This is such a delicious treat that feels good to eat. I added flax seed and crushed oats on top. A dollop of cashew cream would make this perfect.
This recipe is tasty. I think I would add a little more cinnamon and nutmeg next time, but overall it was good.
