Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Description
Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal is made by combining dry ingredients such as oats, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sea salt, then mixing with a wet blend of pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. The addition of toasted chopped pecans integrates a nutty texture contrast.
After combining ingredients thoroughly, the mixture is poured into a greased baking dish and baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, during which it firms up and develops a lightly golden crust. The result is a warm, moist base with creamy oats and bites of pecan.
This baked oatmeal serves well for breakfast or brunch, providing a filling start to the day with autumnal spices and pumpkin. The inclusion of nuts adds texture and richness. Optional mix-ins could vary but are not detailed here.
