This recipe uses real pumpkin puree along with plenty of pumpkin pie spices to turn ordinary oats into a hearty breakfast that’s just sweet enough to make everyone happy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8" square or 8x10 baking dish. Combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and raisins in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out mostly clean. Allow the oatmeal to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and servings.
Notes
2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice mix may be substituted for the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in this recipe.This is a great overnight breakfast recipe. Everything can be stirred together the night before, poured into the pan, and kept in the fridge overnight. When you wake up, give the oatmeal a quick stir, and move the cold pan right into the oven. Allow for an additional 10 minutes baking time.FREEZER MEAL: Let the oatmeal cool completely and then cut or scoop into portions. Store the oatmeal in airtight freezer bags or containers. Reheat in the microwave with a tablespoon of water.
