Oatmeal Mondays

~Pumpkin Take 2~

Yesterday I gave you an awesome recipe for pumpkin bars.  I do hope you'll make them!

Today, it's baked pumpkin pie oatmeal.  I am a total lover of pumpkin pie so this oatmeal is right up my alley.  It's spicy from the pumpkin pie spice, sweet from the brown sugar and vanilla extract, and creamy from the pumpkin puree and milk.

Enjoy :)


Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree 
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups milk
• 2½ cups dry old-fashioned oats 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Whisk in the milk (and yogurt if using).
2. Mix the dry oats into the pumpkin mixture. Coat an 8×8 (or similar sized) baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour in the pumpkin oat mixture. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, removing the foil after the first 30 minutes.
3. Serve hot right out of the oven or refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be eaten cold or reheated. Top with milk, maple syrup, whipped cream, or nuts.
