Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal with Thickened Cream

Does your family love oatmeal?  How about Pumpkin pie?  If you answered yes, then you have got to try this Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal Recipe.

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, I 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 my son will make it for his sister and himself before I even get up in the morning,) they use multiple packets of the flavored oatmeal and way too much from the canister, spreading it all around the floor and in the drawers.

That mess part and wasting oatmeal I could actually handle, even thought 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…)  Now we only have oatmeal when Mom makes it…

I’ve made different types of overnight/baked oatmeal before, but I think the Pumpkin Pie flavor is definitely my favorite. (You can see my apple pie slow cooker 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 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.
