- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions
- Bring 4 ½ cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the oats and cook them, occasionally stirring, for 6 to 7 minutes until they are tender.
- Add the pumpkin, flax seed, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, salt and almond extract to the oats and stir to combine.
- Bring the stove temperature down to medium-low and slowly pour the egg into the oatmeal while constantly stirring. The heat from the oats will cook the egg into the porridge.
- To serve, pour a small amount of cream or milk over top and drizzle a little bit of maple syrup on top if you’d like it to be a bit sweeter.
