Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal is one of our favorite breakfasts; my boys would happily eat this every single morning all fall long if I let them.
There is just something awesome about the way oatmeal changes when it is baked. Almost like a cake, but not nearly so sweet, this is a hearty breakfast that we all love.
Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal has been our Thanksgiving breakfast for the past few years. I’m in favor of anything that makes my holiday kitchen work easier.
There is enough other cooking happening for the holidays, an easy breakfast is ideal. This hearty oatmeal breakfast bake is as easy as it gets. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

When it comes to oatmeal, my family means business. We eat oatmeal for breakfast many times a week and I’ve come up with plenty of variations on a plain bowl of oats to keep things exciting.
Of course, some oatmeal recipes we never get sick of. This baked pumpkin spice oatmeal is one of them!
This recipe uses real pumpkin puree along with plenty of pumpkin pie spices to turn ordinary oats into a hearty breakfast that’s just sweet enough to make everyone happy.
Raisins are a fruity addition to the chewy oatmeal that remind me of some of my favorite oatmeal raisin cookie recipes. (But if you’re a raisin hater, you skip them without affecting the final results.)
It’s become traditional for us to eat this on Thanksgiving morning but we’ve also been known to enjoy a batch of baked pumpkin oatmeal on any regular old day we like.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is delicious and easy to make. It can even be prepped in advance to make your whole day easier!

I like to make this meal an overnight oatmeal recipe by mixing all the ingredients together the night before. Pour the oatmeal into your baking dish, keep it in the fridge and then pop it right into the oven the next morning. Easy as (pumpkin) pie.
With all that nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, baked oatmeal will make your kitchen smell like a fall paradise while it bakes. Every time I have this in the oven, everyone wanders into the kitchen with eager anticipation to ask what’s baking.
This baked oatmeal recipe also freezes marvelously. After baking the oatmeal, scoop it out of the pan into individual portion sizes for storage in the freezer. Slices of baked oatmeal reheat well in the microwave with a tablespoon of water.
I love making big batches of baked oatmeal on the weekend then having leftovers in the freezer for the week ahead. Everyone can pull out a container of healthy delicious oatmeal whenever they want it. It certainly makes the busy weekday mornings less stressful!
Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal tastes wonderful all on its own. My kids and I adore it topped with a dollop of Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream or Homemade Cool Whip, too.
And honestly? If you want to serve your pumpkin oatmeal with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on a holiday morning, I won’t stop you–and your sure to make this your child’s favorite ever breakfast.
