Baked Pumpkin & Maple Oatmeal



Until this recipe I had NEVER baked oatmeal. Now that I've made this, I think I have been missing out! I know that maple and pumpkin are a little "out of season" but meh! They are always in season in my books! I love pumpkin! Haha. I also made 2 pumpkin loafs and a dozen pumpkin muffins this week. The pumpkin was frozen leftovers from the fall, taken out for this recipe of course! This recipe is a keeper. Fo sho! Of course the recipe was stolen from someone else! The recipe idea credit goes out to: chocolatecoveredkatie.com

Here is what you need to make this yourself! This recipe serves one. When we made it we doubled the recipe. I shall let you decide how much to make :)

  • 1/2 cup oats (50g)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
  •  1/8 tsp nutmeg,
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (depending on how sweet you like your oatmeal)
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Step one:
In a baking dish mix together the oats, spices, pumpkin, salt, maple syrup, vanilla & milk. Basically mix everything together :)

Step two:
Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 380F. (Or until it gets firm)

Step three:
Set your oven to broil, and broil the oatmeal for about 3 minutes.
It will give it a nice crispy top!
...And yes, that is icecream you see with my oatmeal ;)

xo have a great night guys!

  3. This looks so tasty! I'm going to have to try it. I've gotten addicted to oatmeal again, with the local maple syrup! Pumpkin would be awesome!
