I have been having my yearly love affair with pumpkin. I’ve enjoyed a Pumpkin Spice Latte just about daily.
There is just something about fall and pumpkin. With the weather turning cooler, I thought I would try making a Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal. In our family we like a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs oatmeal, and this fits the bill. This is a great breakfast that will keep you full until lunch.
If the oatmeal is too thick for your liking, you can add extra warm milk after you bake it. I love the heartiness of the steel coat oats, but you can use good old Quaker as well. Don’t let the picture stop you from trying the oatmeal – it’s not easy to take an appetizing photo of oatmeal!
