Instructions

In a small pot, whisk together all the porridge ingredients and simmer until thickened, about five minutes, stirring often.
While the cereal is simmering, add the butter to another small pot and cook on medium heat until browned. Turn off the heat, remove from the burner and add the syrup. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the porridge into a bowl and top with about 2 tablespoons of the warm syrup mixture.

Notes

To make keto overnight 'oats'

Overnight keto oatmeal is one of the easiest things to make for a fast keto and low-FODMAP breakfast. Simply mix all of the cereal ingredients together and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. You can decide if you want to heat it, eat it cold or add syrup. This makes a healthy low carb oatmeal alternative that will keep your hunger satisfied for hours.

Variations and add-ins

Use different squash – try pureed, roasted kabocha or butternut squash instead of pumpkin
Use a variety of toppings – garnish with fresh berries, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), sunflower seeds, walnuts, coconut flakes, sugar-free chocolate chips or homemade Maple Bourbon Sugar-free Candied Pecans
