Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal with Thickened Cream

Does your family love oatmeal?  How about Pumpkin pie?  If you answered yes, then you have got to try this Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Recipe.  This amazingly delicious baked oatmeal recipe tastes like a cross between pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie, but in an oatmeal version!

 

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal with Thickened Cream:

 

My kids really do love oatmeal.  In fact, they love oatmeal so much that I have actually had to hide it from them this past summer.

 

When I make oatmeal for them in the mornings, I use generally use one packet of the fruit and cream variety and then add an additional quarter cup of plain quick cook oats from the big canister.

 

When they make oatmeal, (and lately, my son had been making it for his sister and himself before I even get up in the morning,) they use multiple packets of the flavored oatmeal at once plus way too much from the canister.   Spreading the dry oatmeal all around the floor, in the drawers and of course, the oatmeal would overflow all over my microwave!

 

 

The mess part and wasting of the oatmeal I could actually handle, (even though it irritated me) but it was when my son started only using a tiny bit of water and microwaving the oatmeal til it was hard and crunchy (and impossible to clean) – that is when I took away the oatmeal.  (And yes, I had given him multiple lessons on how to make oatmeal…)

 

So for now, we only have oatmeal when Mom makes it!

 

 

I’ve made different types of overnight/baked oatmeal before, but I think the Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal is definitely my favorite. (You can see my apple pie slow cooker version here and Banana Bread version here.) I love pumpkin and it certainly doesn’t have to be fall to make this, but there’s just something about this time of year that makes me want to start cooking and baking with pumpkin and other traditionally fall ingredients.

 

You can put this pumpkin oatmeal recipe together a day ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.  I actually made this for dinner, so if you choose to do that to, you will need to put the ingredients together an hour or so before cooking to let the oats “rest” and absorb the liquid ingredients.
