Get the recipe: Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
This easy Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal is a cross between traditional baked oatmeal and a cake! Yes, you heard me, a cake.. for breakfast!
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashion oats
- 3/4 cup brown sugar divided*
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour**
- 1 1/4 cup pecan pieces divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisked together the eggs, milk and yogurt. Add in pumpkin puree and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add in a large bowl, stir together the oats, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, 1 cup pecan pieces, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice until all ingredients are incorporated. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just incorporated. **If you don't want to wash 2 bowls, you can also just add and stir the dry ingredients together in the medium bowl with the egg mixture**
- Pour the oats into a 9x13 inch baking dish, cover and place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours but ideally overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F.5. Take baking dish out of the fridge, uncover and sprinkle with remaining pecan pieces and brown sugar.
- Place the baking dish in oven and bake for 25 minutes. Turn oven to boil, leave dish where it is at in the oven, and boil for 5 minutes to get sugar topping nice and gooey.
- Let cool for 5 minutes and cut into cake like slices.
- I served this in small slices for Parker (1 year) and with a little cream drizzled on it for Ellie (3 years).
Notes
Yield - 12 large pieces
Storage - 5 days in fridge, 1 month in freezer
*using a 1/2 cup brown sugar in oatmeal doesn't make this dish sweet. If you prefer your oats on the sweeter side I suggest you adjust this amount to 1 cup.
** If you want this oatmeal to be more of a traditional oatmeal and not cake like, I would omit the flour altogether.
