Express routes passing data to view

I have data that I am able to log to the console but can't figure out how to make it available to my view.

The following works to console.log req.user upon signing in to an admin page

app.use(function(req, res, next){
  console.log(req.user);
  next();
}); 

The entire JSON object is passed into the console. I'd like to be able to pass it into my view but can't seem to make the following logic work. I'm either not passing it into the route correctly or not pulling it out into ejs correctly.

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
        res.render('index.ejs',{
          bootstrappedUser: req.user
        });
});
