Quick Summary
Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal-this easy baked oatmeal is a breakfast favorite during the chilly fall months. Make a pan and reheat all week for an easy and healthy breakfast!
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts, it is my go to. I eat it year around, but especially during the chilly fall and winter months. My favorite fall oatmeal is Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal.
If you like pumpkin and oatmeal, you are in for a real treat because this easy baked oatmeal is the BEST fall breakfast. The oatmeal is filled with warm spices, lots of pumpkin flavor and has the perfect amount of sweetness. It is cozy, comforting, and so delicious! A bowl will keep you full for hours.
Baked oatmeal is a great breakfast because you make it in ONE pan and then reheat it throughout the week. I love having a pan in the fridge, it is a breakfast lifesaver!
Table of Contents
Ingredients
- Oats– use old fashioned oats, not quick oats.
- Brown sugar– to sweeten the oatmeal.
- Salt– to bring out all of the flavors.
- Baking powder– to give the oats a lift in the oven.
- Pumpkin pie spice– a MUST for maximum pumpkin flavor.
- Milk– use your favorite milk!
- Pumpkin– use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Pure maple syrup– the pumpkin and maple are a match made in heaven.
- Egg– use a large egg.
- Butter– melted and slightly cooled. You can also use melted coconut oil.
- Vanilla extract– always use pure vanilla extract.
- Dried cranberries– optional, but they add a pop of color and sweetness!
How to Make Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 square baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the milk mixture over the oats and stir until combined. Stir in the dried cranberries. Pour oat mixture into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- Make sure you use old fashioned oats. If you need the baked oatmeal to be gluten free, you can use gluten free oats.
- You can use regular milk or almond milk for this recipe. I like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. You can find canned pumpkin at any grocery store in the baking aisle.
- Instead of brown sugar, you can use coconut sugar. Or use all pure maple syrup.
- If you don’t want to use melted butter, you can use melted coconut oil. Both work great!
- Dried cranberries add a nice pop of color and sweetness. You can use raisins too or leave them out.
- You can also stir in chocolate chips if you want an extra special breakfast. Pumpkin and chocolate, always a good idea!
- You can easily double this baked oatmeal recipe if you are feeding a crowd!
How to Store & Reheat
How to Store: After the oatmeal has cooled, you can store it covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
How to Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or cover and warm up in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. I like to add a splash of milk to make the oats extra creamy.
How to Freeze: To freeze, make sure the baked oatmeal is cooled completely. Cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. I like to cut the oatmeal into individual portions, wrap them in plastic wrap, and store in a freezer bag or container. This makes it easier to thaw and reheat. You can thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

This looks wonderful and I just cooked two pumpkins earlier today. Looks like this is breakfast for tomorrow! I’m wondering if the butter is necessary, or if the amount could be reduced. I’m on a very fat restricted medical diet.
I like to eat oatmeal often but i usually don’t have the time to make it. When I do though I’m super full and happy throughout the day. My favorite oatmeal is oatmeal with sweetened soymilk, cocoa powder, some peanut butter and a lot of bananas. It’s super yummy!

My husband and I have baked oatmeal as a special breakfast every Sunday morning…this is definitely going to be added to the rotation!
I just had a bowl of pumpkin baked oatmeal. It was excellent! I did have to bake it for 37 minutes and it looks a little “wetter” than the photos. My husband topped his with Chobani pear cinnamon Greek yogurt–why didn’t I think of that?! Quick and easy breakfast for a cold rainy morning.
I eat oatmeal every day! Love it!
I love oatmeal, and I love pumpkin! Making this is going to the top of my To-Do list!!!
I love oatmeal. Nothing like a good hearty bowl when the weather starts to get a bit cooler. This baked oatmeal sounds like a good way to make it and have it ready to go for weekday mornings.
We eat a good breakfast in the morning together and we all love oatmeal. Thanks for the chance 🙂

Omg pumpkin and oatmeal together?? Why have I never thought of this? Looks delicious! So excited to try this recipe 🙂
I’m trying this recipe tonight. I am thinking it will make some great lunches for me at work this week. Instead of the cranberries, I’m going to try some dark chocolate chips and see how that works out. Have you tried that? Also, how many days are these typically good for? Thanks!
looks soooo good!! i make a big batch banana baked oatmeal every couple of days that i eat every morning!
Thanks for the recipe! Sounds interesting and delicious , but maybe i’ll try it with sweet potato instead of the pumpkin, since the is not my favorite.
We are huge oatmeal fans in my house and love adding fresh fruit.
I’m always looking for breakfast recipes and this is something both my girls will love.
Literally OBSESSED with oatmeal! Such a versatile, amazing, and delicious meal! This recipe looks awesome!

awww sorry I missed the giveaway, but I’d definitely making some baked oatmeal…yumm!
This looks really good and something my kids would eat!
Our boys love it!
I made this over the weekend and I LOVE IT! I didn’t have pumpkin pie spice so I used all cinnamon. It has just the right amount of sweetness. I pinned it on my Pinterest board and will be making this over and over. Thanks for sharing!
Yay so glad you liked the oatmeal!
I made this last night. Doubled the recipe. It is totally yummy!!! Thank you!
Oatmeal, pumpkin and cranberries are some of my favorite flavors, can’t wait to combine them!
Made this for post-thanksgiving breakfast and it was so yummy. I’m always on the lookout for new baked oatmeal recipes – so glad I made this! Thanks!
Wanted to bring this to a morning meeting. I wonder how it would be to put it together the night before and just bake it in the morning. I would double the recipe. What do you think? Thanks!
The oats might soak up the milk if you put it in the pan the night before and wait to bake it. I have made it the night before and reheated in the morning and it tastes great!
Just found this recipe–since my granddaughter is a brand new associate in a top law firm, her hours are long and she frequently skips breakfast. Â She loves pumpkin so I will make this today and freeze it in individual portions for her. Â Looks delicious!
I hope she likes it!
This is baked and in my fridge tonight. I have to be at work at 6am and wanted an easy breakfast. It smelled really good hen it came out of the oven. I can’t wait for morning now. Goodnight.Â
Yay! Enjoy!
Super delicious!
I found this recipe and my wonderful hubby made it for us but we chose to make muffin cups for portion control. These are absolutely amazing and because we made them in a muffin tin they turned out crunchy and chewy on top and bottom. He also added the pecans to the top, so you get that crunchy element  and then you find that little gem of a dried cranberry! SO good!  P.S. I have celiac disease so we used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oats.Â
I don’t like oatmeal but I loved this! Thank You for sharing… Can’t wait for breakfast. My house smells so good.
A lover of all things pumpkin, I made this and loved it! Perfect amount of spice and sweetness, and it smelled like pumpkin pie as it was baking! The sweet tooth person in my house enjoyed it with a drizzle of maple syrup! Will be making again!
Really good. I did use egg replacer instead of the egg and almond milk/soy creamer instead of regular milk. It was a hit even though I forgot the butter. Definitely will make again.
Love this recipe! On workout mornings , I cut as a pumpkin bar with some tea. I also freeze it in individual bars/servings then heat it and add milk like traditional oatmeal .Â
Do you know the nutrition facts for this recipe?
This is so delicious! And the house smells so good while it’s in the oven. Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious! Next time I will double it, so it lasts longer.
Can this be made in advance? Can I prep The night before and just able in the morning? Also I’m going to try to use pumpkin spice almond beverage from Trader Joe’s and omit the sugar and spices, fingers crossed that works. Also don’t have dried cranberries on hand but have raisins.
Yes, you can make it in advance. Raisins will be good too!
How many servings does this make?
How long will it stay if refrigerated?
5 to 7 days
Delicious!! Plan on making this many more times. Thank you.
I felt like after a year of making this, I should probably leave a review. The BEST baked oatmeal. It’s amazing fresh or left over. I usually make a batch on Sunday night and it lasts me throughout the week. I love adding dark chocolate chips too!
Made numerous times – I add a scoop of protein powder. Any clue what the caloric content might be for this recipe?
Any clue what the caloric content might be for this recipe?
This looks fabulous! What adjustments would you make for using steel cut oats instead of oatmeal?
Thank you, Maria, for this recipe. I made it this morning. I happened to have pumpkin spiced maple syrup on hand! I only used 1 teas. butter and used skim milk. It was wonderful to have for breakfast and will have it for the next 5 days!
I am making the Apple Cinnamon baked Oatmeal next week!
Thanks, again!
Glad you are loving my baked oatmeal recipes!
I love the Blueberry baked oatmeal and I know I’ll love this one too. Anybody have suggestion for what to make with 1 1/2 c pumpkin after I use the 1/2 c for this recipe?
I have LOTS of pumpkin recipes:) Try my pumpkin chocolate chip bread, healthy pumpkin muffins, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, lots of pumpkin cookies, etc. Just search at the top of the site! Enter pumpkin, lots of recipes will come up!
Already made this twice in one week. We love it!
Perfect for fall!
I added an extra egg and chopped walnuts.
Oh the nuts is a great idea! I bet pecans would be good too with it. Thanks for the tip!
Fantastic! I made this last night and doubled ingredients for 9×13 pan and it was done in 35min. Left out dried cranberries and was low on milk, so did half milk half water. It was amazing!! My kids who are 4, 5, and 8 loved it and we did too. Will absolutely make again. Already sent recipe to family and a friend! Thank you!!!
I made this for my family over the holidays and it was a huge hit! Literally, everyone asked for the recipe.
Love this recipe! It’s so versatile! I add flax seed, brewers yeast, and chia seeds and it’s a great, easy make ahead breakfast for breastfeeding! I also like adding dried sour cherries!
What is the different between can pumpkin pie filling from pure pumpkin?
Pumpkin pie filling adds sugar and spices. You want pure pumpkin, JUST pumpkin.
Oh okay Thank you Maria Lichty I didn’t think about that.
Delicious! Do you have the nutritional information?
I love this recipe. This is a fall breakfast staple in our house. It’s so easy to throw together and the whole family loves it. The sweeteners can easily be adjusted to suit personal tastes (I use 1 Tb. maple syrup and coconut brown sugar). We prefer the tartness of cranberries, as written, but also like to throw in some pecans and/or walnuts. The oatmeal reheats well for a quick and easy weekday morning breakfast!
It is the perfect fall breakfast.
