📝 Ingredients

2. Mix the Batter
- In a bowl, combine oats, pumpkin, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add warm water until you get a thick, porridge-like consistency.
- (Let sit 5 mins if needed—oats will absorb moisture.)

- Pour batter into a lined loaf pan (or shape into a round loaf on parchment).
- Bake 25-30 mins until firm and golden.

- Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 15-20 mins in a small pan.
- Option 3 (Microwave):
- Cook in a microwave-safe dish for 3-5 mins (check often).
4. Cool & Serve
- Let rest 10 mins before slicing.
- Enjoy warm or toasted with nut butter, yogurt, or fruit!
