Pumpkin Parfait

Since it's October and I've had a raging craving for everything that is PUMPKIN, here's a recipe to try. I'd probably cut the serving size in half or do half the layers to cut the point value down to 3. But you do as you please.

If pumpkin pie and oatmeal had a baby... and that baby wore lots of layers... it would look like THIS!

Ingredients:
Oatmeal
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze
1/3 cup canned pure pumpkin
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
Dash salt

Parfait
One 60-calorie sugar-free vanilla pudding snack (like the kind by Jell-O)
1 sheet (4 crackers) low-fat honey graham crackers, roughly crushed
Optional topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:

Combine all ingredients for oatmeal in a small nonstick pot on the stove. Add 3/4 cup water and mix well. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 9 minutes, stirring often, until somewhat thick and creamy. (It will thicken more upon chilling.) Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 1/2 hours.
Stir oatmeal thoroughly until uniform in texture. Spoon half of the oatmeal into a tall glass, and top with half of the pudding snack and half of the crushed graham crackers. Repeat with remaining oatmeal, pudding, and crushed graham crackers.
Top with Reddi-wip, if you like, and dig in!
