I first made baked oatmeal when I made this simple, easy to customize baked oatmeal, which is still one of our very favorite breakfast recipes. But this time of year? I’m cooking and baking with pumpkin every chance I get. Pumpkin is delicious in desserts like pumpkin pie, but I really love to get my pumpkin fix at breakfast with healthier treats like pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and pumpkin bread.

This Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is so easy to make! You can even prepare this when you’re half asleep – trust me, I’ve done it. 🙂 You mix everything up in one big bowl, pour it into a baking dish, and then pop it in your oven. You could even stir everything together in the baking dish if you want and avoid washing a second bowl altogether.

Made with pure maple syrup, this Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is refined sugar free. It’s made with pumpkin pie spice and the toasted pecans on top add a delicious crunch. The oatmeal itself has an almost custard-like texture and flavor thanks to the milk and eggs in the recipe. Totally crave-worthy, this Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is a healthy and filling breakfast that you can feel good about making for yourself and your family.
