Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup milk of choice
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 cup pumpkin purée
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
⅓ c chopped pecans or pecan pieces
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1½ tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, eggs, maple and vanilla.
Add oats and all other ingredients and stir to combine.
Spread evenly in a greased 9x9inch square baking pan and sprinkle with more pecans if desired. (An 8x8 in. pan will work but it will take longer to bake.)
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until top of oatmeal has set and no more liquid is present.
Allow to cool and serve as desired--we love to add a big spoonful of greek yogurt and maple syrup, but whipped cream is a great idea, right?
Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Notes

Prep this recipe the night before! This is a really nice make ahead breakfast. You can let everything soak in the pan overnight and then bake it in the morning. This allows for the spices to really set in and it keeps you from needing to wake up any earlier. Bonus!
I prefer to eat this baked oatmeal warmed up, but you can totally eat it cold or room temperature. I also prefer it with an extra drizzle of maple and a dollop of something creamy. (I think this is the 3rd time in this post that I have mentioned this so I guess it's important or something. Ha.)
You could add a bit of brown sugar on top of the oatmeal in the last few minutes of baking for a nice finishing touch to your oatmeal. I have also read that some like to drizzle melted butter over top of baked oatmeal. I would not hold you back from either option.
