Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal

I know. I know. I KNOW.

Seems like it was only yesterday that I was protesting pumpkin. But it wasn’t yesterday. *cough cough*

It was last Friday.

But, in my defense, it is October now. And it’s only ONE recipe so far. I’ll be gone for my wedding so I can vouch for not having pumpkin recipe upon pumpkin recipe lined up for ya…but I’m not going to say there won’t be some pumpkin.

If it makes you feel any better, I broke my protest for what turned out to be a really ugly recipe. It tastes heavenly, as most ugly foods do…but it’s pretty darn ugly. Shucks.

Let me break this down for you. This baked oatmeal looks like it’s topped with a layer of pumpkin pie, right? Looks complicated, right? Wrong! It actually rises to the top of the baked oatmeal as it bakes! Magic!

So I guess I made you magical baked oatmeal. It’s oatmeal with a pie on top. You are SO darn welcome. And you can plop this down in front of your family, say “take that!” and know that you served them a healthy breakfast that tasted like pie and was magical. You’re superwoman (or man…).

A healthy, delicious baked oatmeal that tastes just like Pumpkin Pie! You can make it the night before and reheat it for breakfast, or prepare it in the morning for a family feast. The pumpkin layer magically rises to the top while baking, leaving the oatmeal topped with a silky pumpkin custard.
