Who else is loving pumpkin season?! MEEE!

After I saw how many of you all loved my baked apple cinnamon oatmeal, I knew I needed to share a pumpkin-y version.

This recipe is so perfect for weekend brunch. Perfect for feeding your whole family. I sprinkle the tops with some pumpkin pie spice, but you could also add a scoop of yogurt, a bit of whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup.

Shoot, I feel like I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence without mentioning that this warm baked pumpkin oatmeals would be SO GOOD with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Only I could take a healthy, wholesome breakfast and turn it into a decadent dessert.

It’s also a really great recipe for meal prep. Make this easy pumpkin breakfast oatmeal bake every Sunday and have servings for the whole week ahead! It keeps really great in your fridge!

Mix together the milk, eggs, agave nectar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.

Add the oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine. Then, fold in the chopped nuts.

Pour it into your favorite baking dish. Mine was 8 x 8 inches and you can prepare it ahead of time by spraying it with your favorite cooking spray.

How to Store Baked Oatmeal:

You can either keep it in the dish, cover it with some aluminum foil and cut off slices as desired to heat up and eat. Or, cut it up into single servings, store them individually in their own container, and take them out to heat up and consume as desired.

Store it in the fridge fore about 5 days, or freeze for up to three months! If you are freezing it, make sure it comes to room temperature first, then wrap it up or put it in a container for freezing.
