Ingredient Notes

ingredients for pumpkin oatmeal

Gluten-Free Oats: Since I have Celiac, this is really important. Not all oats are safe for me to eat. I like to get these gluten-free oats from Bob’s Red Mill (I found them at Wegmans) since they batch-test them for gluten. Trader Joe’s also has gluten-free oats which passed my Nima Sensor gluten tester. If you don’t need to worry about gluten, then any brand of oats is fine!

Pumpkin Puree: Look for a can that only contains pumpkin. You can also use canned sweet potato if you prefer!

Dairy-Free Milk of Choice: I used Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond milk

Chopped Pecans: I like to get these from Thrive Market or Trader Joe’s.

Recipe Step by Step

steps for making pumpkin baked oatmeal
  1. Preheat your oven to 375. Spray a 2 qt casserole dish with cooking oil. (I love this 7.5 in x 10.5 x Staub casserole dish).
  2. Combine all of the ingredients except for the pecans in a large bowl and mix well. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Top with the pecan halves.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes until it is set.
  4. Serve with desired toppings!

Mary’s Tips & Tricks

How to Serve: I serve my baked oatmeal topped with more almond milk, a scoop of full-fat coconut cream (the thick part from a can of coconut milk), and maple syrup.

Storage: Let your pumpkin baked oatmeal cool completely before placing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Eat within 4-5 days for optimal freshness.

Sweet Potato Swap: If you prefer, swap out the pumpkin puree for canned sweet potato!

Toppings: Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, maple syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, raisins, and/or dried cranberries to make this pumpkin baked oatmeal even yummier!
