Ingredients
To make pumpkin baked oatmeal you need the following ingredients:
- oats
- pumpkin puree
- milk (dairy, almond, soy, oat, the choice is yours!)

Tips
I've seen baked oatmeal recipes that suggest using old fashioned oats instead of quick or 1 minute oats. I have used both and I see very little difference in the turn out, so use whatever oats you have or prefer. The difference is not worth worrying about.
Don't have pumpkin spice? Use this combination of pantry spices. Pumpkin spice is made with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. If you don't have 1 of these spices, you can omit it and still make a great pumpkin baked oatmeal!
A combination of any of these warming spices will work for this recipe. So if you're like a lot of people who don't normally have allspice or cloves on hand, using a cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg combo will still give you a fantastic tasting pumpkin baked oatmeal.
Step-By-Step Directions
- Mix all of your ingredients together, except for 3 tablespoons of butter and the walnuts. Pour into a glass baking dish and top with the walnuts and drizzle with the remaining butter.
2. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, until the middle is set.
Then serve and enjoy! Pumpkin baked oatmeal is even more delicious served with a dollop of yogurt on the side or mixed in.
