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 Baked 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!

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

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.

    Just wanted to let you know I strangely only have access to muffin tins right now and no baking pans. I figured it may help me meal prep anyway. Just reduced the time to 15-20 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. Susan D. says

    I love this recipe and make it often. I like to soak the raisins in the beaten eggs for an hour before assembling everything to plump them. I also add pecan pieces. Delicious!5 stars

  3. Sharyn G. says

    I’ve made this with the pumpkin puree (which is actually squash) and it turned out great. I made it the next time with sweet potato and the taste was very similar. With the sweet potato, 3 eggs made the recipe turn out too eggy, so I would do 2 next time. It’s great microwaved with a splash of sweet cream coffee creamer.5 stars

  4. Jenna says

    I often feel like I Pinterest “fail,” but this recipe was easy to follow, and it came out great! I added an extra 1/4 cup pumpkin purée because I love the flavor of pumpkin, and the end result still had a great amount of fluffy and moist. I topped with maple syrup and almond milk. Thank you!5 stars

  5. Andee stroia says

    This baked oatmeal recipe has become one of my go-tos for a few years now. I use applesauce if I don’t have pumpkin or whatever else I have like pie filling – sometimes I add blueberries or chocolate chips or nothing extra. I’ve played around with it and the kids love it. I like to use half a stick of butter instead of the olive oil.5 stars

    Oops…no need to answer my question. I just read the whole blog and it says it freezes well.

    Thanks again and my apologies.

    Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal. I need to omit the eggs. Use Flax eggs as a replacement or applesauce? Do not want to make it soggy with the Pumpkin Puree and milk already in the recipe. Your advice please?

    Thank you!
