Recipe Notes

* Pumpkin is part of the squash family. It is rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which aids vision in dim light and may help to prevent cancer. * Whole grain oats are high in fiber to keep you feeling fuller longer. Diets rich in fiber have been linked to lower cholesterol. * Cinnamon has antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Adding cinnamon to dishes intensifies sweetness without adding sugar!
