Sure, you can eat pumpkin pie for breakast. But Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal is even easier to make (no crust!) and has all the flavors of pumpkin pie.
Autumn has always been my least favorite season, but I do love the colors and flavors of the season. This spin on a family favorite dessert – pumpkin pie – is the perfect breakfast for chilly autumn days but I bet you’re going to want to roast a pumpkin so you can freeze the puree and enjoy this oatmeal recipe all year long.
Some of my favorite things about autumn are the colorful leaves and the sound they make on crisp chilly days when the breeze blows. Bundled up around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows as the cozy scent of wood smoke drifts throughout the neighborhood is another favorite. But my favorite smells of all are the scent of autumn spices toasting for homemade chai or pumpkin pie baked oatmeal baking.
Pumpkin pie baked oatmeal is thick and custard-like from the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs. It has all the spices you generally add to pumpkin pie but if you don’t have them on hand you can also easily skip the individual spices and use 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice instead.

I love fall! I love the cooler weather, the colors of the trees and (just like you) the scents of fall. This oatmeal looks like a great way to start the day! Thanks for sharing at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party.

This looks so yummy Heather! Even makes me want to eat oats 🙂
Heather says
Haha. Baked oatmeal was my way of getting my kids to start eating it. Now they eat regular oatmeal with just a bit of sugar and milk sometimes.
