Instructions
- Blend the oats in a blender or small food processor until it reaches a thick flour consistency.
- In a small pot, add water, cinnamon stick, and Piloncillo. Simmer (don’t boil!) for 10 minutes or until the Piloncillo dissolves. Take the cinnamon stick out after 10 minutes if you’d like.
- Whisk oat flour into the cold milk until it creates a thick consistency.
- Slowly pour it into the simmering pot while stirring nonstop. Continue to stir consistently on a low simmer to prevent clumps.
- Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and continue to stir until it dissolves and creates a creamy atole.
- Remove from heat and serve hot in mugs. Garnish with ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice. Enjoy!
