I absolutely love baked oatmeal. I make baked oatmeal all the time and I have recipes for Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal and Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. It’s only fitting that I add a Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal. Pumpkin and oats work so well together. The warmth of the cinnamon and nutmeg along with the pecans scream fall!
How to Make Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal is so easy. Once you get the method down simply add in your own spin on flavors. Eggs and milk form a custard (think french toast) and by baking the oats with the custard you get a baked fluffy oatmeal instead of the traditional creamy version. The flavor combos are endless and it travels and reheats really well. Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is sure to make it to your breakfast or brunch menu. It’s just so easy and healthy. You can also easily make it dairy free by using a plant based milk. I find the eggs to be necessary to hold it together, so I don’t think you can make it vegan. You could certainly try and let me know how it goes for you.
You’ll want a good casserole dish to bake this in. I love a nice white casserole for all kinds of things. This is the perfect way to take this from oven to table.
