Pumpkin & Oat Morning Bread was pinched from <a href="http://www.craftingconnections.net/the-blog/eating-through-the-runaway-pumpkin-part-1/" target="_blank">www.craftingconnections.net.</a>

"Today, we decided to put them together as we eat our way through the seasonally-appropriate story The Runaway Pumpkin by Kevin Lewis. In this joyful, rhyming book, with beautiful and fun pictures, a pumpkin on the loose reminds the characters of different delicious pumpkin foods - pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie. Our house was filled with a warm, delicious pumpkin smell for a couple of days as Ella and I chopped, stirred, scooped and measured. We started, as you can, with roasting our pie pumpkin and baking some Pumpkin & Oat Morning Bread (though to be honest, this bread was enjoyed throughout the day!) Low in sugar, with the addition of oats, nuts, dried fruit and spices, this is a snack I'm happy to say "yes" to time and again...."
