How To Make Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Mix the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl. Then, add in the dry ingredients. Mix the batter and pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch 2 quart pan.
Top the batter with optional nuts and brown sugar or your favorite baked oatmeal toppings. Lastly, bake the oatmeal at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve the pumpkin baked oatmeal warm with your favorite oatmeal toppings. I like to drizzle warm maple syrup over the top, but other toppings like almond butter and coconut or greek yogurt are wonderful options too!

FAQ

Warm up the oats in the microwave, toaster oven, or in the oven and if you heat it up in the oven then cover in foil and heat at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

You can freeze this oats in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight an reheat or eat cold.
