Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite things to make for breakfast. I have made it with cinnamon and apples and blueberries with lemon zest. But fall is upon us and that means all things pumpkin. This pumpkin spice baked oatmeal tastes like pumpkin pie, but is a hearty breakfast perfect for chilly mornings.
Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 Cup Canned Pumpkin Puree **See Note**
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- 1/4 Cup Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 Cups Old Fashioned Oats (oatmeal)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Cooking Spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl, mix milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Add in the oats, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice and stir to combine.
Generously coat an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray. (I prefer a glass baking dish, but metal works too.) Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. The oatmeal should be a little jiggly in the middle (like custard.) Remove from oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. It will continue to cook and thicken as it rests. Serve warm. **Note** One can of pumpkin is just slightly less than 2 cups. I usually just split the can in half and freeze half of it for the next time I make the baked oatmeal. You will have slightly less than one cup in each batch and it turns out fine.
Going to Dillons to get my pumpkin. Have everything else on hand. Excited to make this.
Kristie- I’m so glad. I know you will love it!
I usually make my own fresh pumpkin, however I am going to stock up on can pumpkin and try many of these recopies!
Brenda- I love fresh pumpkin. Do you roast it or boil it? Do you freeze it when you make it?
