Overnight oats are a staple in my breakfast routine, but baked oatmeal is a nice switch as the weather gets cooler. While this pumpkin baked oatmeal tastes like dessert, it's actually a healthy and substantial breakfast and a great source of complex carbs to keep you satiated all morning.

Ingredients

This recipe uses old-fashioned oats; I don't recommend quick or steel-cut oats for baked oatmeal. You’ll also need pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, pumpkin purée (not the filling), regular or unsweetened dairy-free milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and chopped pecans.

How to Make Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

As you’ll see in the video below, this baked oatmeal comes together super easily:

Make the batter.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl so they are evenly distributed in the batter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, honey, and milk. Finally, add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients.
Bake until golden.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 35 minutes or until the oat mixture is set and the top is golden.

Make Ahead

You can make the entire dish, refrigerate it for up to 5 days, and reheat the portions throughout the week. You can also combine the dry ingredients in the baking dish and the wet ingredients in a large jar and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, simply stir everything together and bake.
