Another plus of this recipe is that it’s simple. If your mornings are super busy, just bake the whole thing the evening before and reheat it in the morning. It will be as yummy as ever.

How to Make Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal:

To make this dish, you start with pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar for sweetness, and lots of fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. These spices are what bring out that pumpkin flavor. Next, milk gets whisked in. (Did you know that real cow’s milk contains more naturally-occurring nutrients, delivering nine-essential nutrients for children and six for adults!)

After all of that’s mixed together, in go the old-fashioned oats.

When everything is combined, pour the mixture into a greased pan and sprinkle the top with cinnamon. Once it’s baked, it’s ready to serve. I told you it was simple.

If desired, add a splash of cold milk and a drizzle of maple syrup. I think these two additions take the oatmeal over the top. Try adding a few walnuts or pecans for crunch.

No matter how you serve it, this Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is sure to become a go-to fall breakfast dish.

However you serve it, I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.
