Laura Dolson has a recipe for pumpkin hot cereal using ricotta cheese. Bet that protein/fat boost makes it more filling!

Sorry, read the recipe wrong.

I tried this this morning using your recipe exactly as written and I love it. I've been enjoying my pumpkin egg creams all summer, but kept wanting something hot now that it's winter. This is perfect. And it's 11:30, and I am still very full. Thank you very much for sharing - I feel grateful I found this recipe.

its a cross between cream of wheat, and cottage cheese in consistency..

ok this is how I made it..

in a small soup pot (think like the size that holds one can of soup)

I put a tablespoon of coconut oil and butter. (you could use just butter I use both for the health benefits)

then in a bowl I mixed:

1T heavy whipping cream
2 HEAPING TABLESPOONS of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
couple of sprinkles of nutmeg and cinnamon
dribble of vanilla extract.
you could either now add sugar free syrup (caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon dolce are very good) or splenda or stevia to make it a little sweeter..
then after thats all wisked together wisk in :
2 eggs
I wisked that very well together untill it looked like pumpkin pie filling raw..
then heated up the pot untill butter was melted.
I think the wisk is a huge key to this becuase it covers so much area in the small pot, and when wisking fast you get just the right texture, Vs using a fork or a spatula..
Its about done when it looks like very thick cottage cheese and it starts to stick to itself..
I then poured this in a bowl, topped it with another sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon, 2 T heavy whipping cream, and a little squirt of sugar free maple syrup...

ENJOY! this is amazing imo..
Very Very Very filling!
this will be great on cold snowey days!

I made the LC pumpkin cereal this morning and it was awesome. I forgot the vanilla and didn't have any maple syrup but it was still great. I used pumpkin pie spice in place of the other spices.

A nice change!

This was great!
This is now my favorite Sunday morning breakfast with a few slices of chicken bacon.
Thanks!

Glad I found this post - Lindsey (9 mo old) isn't too fond of plain eggs (and she's been doing yogurt and apple sauce with chia seeds for weeks and weeks).

I could make a variation of this for her and a different one for me - she doesn't eat AS - maybe I could give her a spot of molasses or real syrup or leave it plain. Tonight, I'll make a single batch and if she likes it, I'll make 3 servings for Mon-Wed breakfasts so I can just pop the ramekins in a bag and take to the baby sitter's house.

This is great. Just finished my first bowl of it, would make it again. I'm going to have to go get some SF syrup though. It wasn't really sweet enough for me, but I added a little bit of Almond Vanilla Breeze and it was better. Thanks for this!

silverleaf · 02-08-2009, 10:38 AM

sounds good

Bissonnettemi · 02-08-2009, 11:01 AM

THis sounds good, I am going to try this this week sometime w/ ricotta. I store pumpkin by the cup in freezer bags. Thanks

Can you buy sugar free maple syrup in a reg store or must buy online?

dawnyama · 02-08-2009, 02:04 PM

I find SF syrup at the Wal-Mart. I think most major grocery stores have a sugar free version. Currently I have Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free butter flavor, but there are a few in my Wal-Mart.......

Bissonnettemi · 02-10-2009, 05:02 PM

speaking of s/f syrup, my favorite (Steels) is no longer available, so we recently bought the s/f syrup at Waffle House (made w/ maltitol), and we both really like it and it's much cheeper than anything in the grocery store

We like the Walmart brand - Equate - SF syrup. I think it's made with Splenda instead of malitol and tastes fine.

Bissonnettemi · 02-13-2009, 06:33 AM

I tried a version of this today for DH and I, pretty good on a cold morning, I'd say.

For 2:
3 eggs, some ricotta, heavy cream, cinnamon, 1/2 packet of splenda, a pat of butter, a splash of DaVinci's Cinnamon, each drizzled w/ s/f syrup and topped w 5 pecans

Yum!

I made this exactly as OurLuv's posted and it was DELISH! I just love pumpkin and had froze tablespoon sized blobs after Thanksgiving and forgot about them. This was so good, kind of a cross between pumpkin pie and cream of wheat. I'll be rotating this in a lot, just loved it. I used 1 tbs erythritol and 1/8 tsp NuNaturals stevia and thought it was perfect (don't like overly sweet things anymore). I added pumpkin pie spice and freshly grated nutmeg with more cream on top. I did eat the entire bowl.

terez · 02-13-2009, 11:39 AM

This one looks like a keeper! Thanks for sharing.

BikerAng · 03-02-2009, 05:47 PM

bumping because I made this for lunch and just love it (so filling).
