    Nothing is more fall than pumpkin and here is away to add a little pumpkin spice to your mornings. This easy pumpkin baked oatmeal with cranberries is the perfect blend of fall seasonal flavors. It's super easy to make and reheats well for leftovers throughout the week. It's also so delicious on its own, with your morning coffee or with a little added yogurt.

    If you're looking for another taste of fall without the use of the oven definitely try out my no bake vanilla pumpkin energy bites! or you can make a pumpkin spice version of my basic overnight oats recipe.

    Ingredients

    To make this pumpkin baked oatmeal recipe you need mostly basic baking ingredients. The only thing you may need to head to the store for are the cranberries and pumpkin puree. Below is a full list of what you'll need.

    ingredients to make pumpkin baked oatmeal
    • Old Fashioned Oats - I love using Coach's Oats for this but gluten-free oats work well also.
    • Milk - I prefer dairy-free so my go to is almond or cashew but you can use oat milk or regular dairy milk if you prefer.
    • Cranberries - around here cranberries are mainly a seasonal thing but if you can't find any around you or you're not a cranberry fan, diced apples are a great substitute.
    • Melted butter - you can substitute melted coconut oil for this if you prefer to keep it dairy-free
    • Pumpkin Puree and Pumpkin Pie Spice
    • Egg
    • Walnut pieces - If you want to sweeten things up a little candied walnuts are a good option but just note it does change the nutrition facts a little
    • Honey
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Baking Powder

    How To Prepare

    STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease an 8x8 baking dish. You can also spray it with non-stick baking spray.

    STEP 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: honey, pumpkin puree, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

    egg, almond milk, pumpkin puree added to a white bowl
    oats, pecans, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice added to a clear bowl

    STEP 3: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and pecans. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Then stir in the cranberries.

    Variations and Modifications

    • Feel free to replace cranberries with diced apples or raspberries for another delicious flavor in your pumpkin baked oatmeal
    • If you're not feeling the fruity vibes, you can also replace the cranberries with chocolate chips
    • Serve with greek yogurt for added protein
    • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert!
    • Add some unflavored collagen to your dry ingredients for another protein boost and collagen benefits! I like the collagen peptides from Primal Kitchen Foods

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I store baked oatmeal?

    The fridge is the best way to store baked oatmeal as it contains eggs

    How do I reheat baked oatmeal?

    Add a splash of milk prior to reheating and then microwave

    Can I freeze baked oatmeal?

    Yes! Once your pumpkin baked oatmeal is cut into individual pieces, wrap in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer friendly bag (I like Stasher bags). When you are ready to eat, simply thaw outside of the freezer and then heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
