Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats not instant.
- 1 cup pumpkin puree not pie filling.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed tight.
- 2 cups whole milk.
- 2 large eggs.
- 1/4 cup melted butter.
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts optional.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional.
Instructions
Preheat your oven
- Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it heat up while you prep.
Prepare the baking dish
- Grease your baking dish with cooking spray. You can also use a little butter.
Mix the dry ingredients
- Put oats, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Add salt and pumpkin pie spice. Stir them together until well mixed.
Mix the wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk the milk and eggs. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Pour in the melted butter slowly.
Combine everything together
- Pour the wet mix into the dry oats. Stir until everything is very wet. Add nuts or chocolate chips if you like.
Transfer to the dish
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spoon.
Bake the oatmeal
- Place the dish in the hot oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The center should be set and firm.
Cool and serve
- Let it sit for five minutes. This helps it set properly. Scoop it into bowls and enjoy.
Notes
- Use real pumpkin puree for the best flavor.
- Do not use the pre-sweetened pie filling.
- Always use rolled oats for a better texture.
- Quick oats will get too mushy in the oven.
- You can add a splash of maple syrup.
- It adds a lovely deep sweetness to the dish.
- Do not overbake the oatmeal or it gets dry.
- Check it at the thirty-five-minute mark.
- You can make this the night before too.
- Just store it in the fridge before baking.
- This saves a lot of time on busy mornings.
- Top it with a splash of heavy cream.
- It makes the breakfast feel very fancy and rich.
