For many, oatmeal brings to mind childhood winter breakfasts. Indeed, there are few foods more comforting than a big, warm bowl of oatmeal to start the day! Taking the time to prepare a healthy breakfast is so important. With its 25-minute cooking time, mix of beautifully fragrant spices (turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon), plus sweet maple syrup, this recipe is a far cry from the boring beige bowl you might expect. Smothered in homemade squash butter prepared ahead of time, this meal makes a memorable and easy breakfast. Even the squash butter is super easy - just simmer squash purée with sugar, lemon juice, spices and water, and you'll have a creamy and delicious topping for oatmeal, yogurt parfaits and desserts! It'll keep for a week in the fridge, and is a fantastic way to use up squash when it's been sitting around for a little too long.

Maple-turmeric Oatmeal
Homemade Squash Butter
Instructions
Maple-turmeric Oatmeal
In a small saucepan, mix oatmeal with turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and both milks. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until milks are absorbed and the mixture is still just a little bit liquid.
Let set for 5 minutes, pour into a bowl and top with squash butter and your preferred toppings.
Homemade Squash Butter
In a saucepan, mix squash purée with other ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce heat so that the mixture keeps bubbling for about 25 minutes. (You can use a lid to avoid a mess, but make sure the pot is not covered completely, using a wooden spoon, for example.)
Once butter is thick and creamy, remove from heat, let cool, pour into a jar or container and keep in refrigerator.
