Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Combine oats, cereal, water or milk, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil until and stir until mixture starts to thicken slightly.

2. 2

   With one hand, pour in the egg whites and stir continuously with the other hand (if you don’t, the egg whites will get scrambled, which is not yummy).

3. 3

   Mix in pumpkin, sugar, and seasoning and heat until warmed through. Serve immediately with desired toppings.
