A simple recipe for baked oatmeal flavored with pumpkin, warm spices, and topped with brown sugar-cinnamon pecans. A fantastic make ahead meal; simply reheat portions as needed!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 2 ½ quart baking dish.
Combine all dry ingredients and place in the prepared baking dish.
Whisk the wet ingredients and pour over the oat mixture. Gently shake the baking dish back and forth from side to side to allow the wet mixture to get down into the oats.
In a separate bowl, combine all topping ingredients until the pecans are thoroughly coated in brown sugar. Scatter the topping mixture over the top of the oats.
Bake uncovered for about 35-40 minutes, until oats are tender and the mixture is set.
Serve immediately with a splash of milk, or cool, then cover and refrigerate to reheat later.
Notes
If the oatmeal firms up too much after chilling, just add a little milk or water to each portion before reheating to make it creamy again.
