Cooking oats in milk creates a creamy texture and cooks the nutrients right in. This overnight soak method reduced the cooking time of steel-cut oats by about half while also allowing the flavour of the pumpkin and the aromatic spices to blend into a comforting breakfast while you sleep.

Consuming milk products is important whatever your age. As the needs of the human body changes with age, so does the number of recommended daily servings.
Ingredients
Preparation
In an airtight container or bowl, stir together cinnamon, ginger, salt and pumpkin; gradually stir in milk and water. Stir in oats. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or for up to 12 hours.
Transfer oat mixture to a large saucepan; stir well. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until thick and oats are tender. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 3 minutes.
Spoon porridge into 4 bowls and drizzle each with 1 tsp (5 mL) maple syrup and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and cinnamon.
Tips
Be sure to use traditional steel-cut oats for this recipe and not a quick-cooking variety as the quick-cooking oats create a mushy, pasty texture with this soaking method.
Extra porridge can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add more milk to thin to desired texture when reheating. Reheat on medium-high (70%) power in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat.
Extra pumpkin purée can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for a few months. Add pumpkin to smoothies, muffins, soups and even spaghetti sauce.
