It's pumpkin time!
Okay, so Labor Day hasn't come yet and school hasn't started up here in Northern Virginia, but it's pumpkin recipe time in this house.
Put your hands up if you're sick of this pandemic, everything-fun-is-closed, sick-of-wearing-a-mask-everywhere, summer. This has been one long and tiresome few months, and as much as we love and long for summer every year, this year we are so ready for it to be over.
If you're longing for normalcy like me, the start of September means that cool mornings, crisp evening air, comfy sweatshirts, and lots of cuddles and couch time are coming soon!
So let's bring in Fall with a fresh start and the hope for better times ahead...and of course, fresh fall baking! And lots of pumpkin. Pumpkin everything!

Expert 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
Did I mention that pumpkin baked oatmeal is awesome because all you need to do is mix all of your ingredients in a bowl, pour it in a casserole dish, drizzle it with butter and walnuts, and bake?
A seriously simple 2 step, 1 bowl breakfast!
Here's how to do it:
- 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 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.
