I mean, it shows up at Christmas dinner, so it’s not exactly like white after Labor Day. (Which I still call shenanigans on, anyway). I bet you’d also love our pumpkin waffles and french toast sticks!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Ingredients
- Pure pumpkin puree – Make sure you’re getting canned pure pumpkin and not canned pumpkin pie filling. It’s usually with the canned vegetable but some markets carry it near the baking supplies.
- Sweetened condensed milk – This is not interchangeable with evaporated milk. Make sure the can says sweetened condensed.
- Pumpkin pie spice – Grab it in the spices aisle at the grocery store or make your own with our pumpkin pie spice recipe!
- Eggs – These work as a binder and also add richness to the oatmeal.
- Quick cooking oats – Be sure to get quick cooking and not traditional oats!
How Do You Make Pumpkin Oatmeal?
⭐ First, beat pumpkin, milk, spice, and eggs with an electric mixer until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
⭐ Then, stir in oatmeal, and pour into a small greased casserole dish.
⭐ Finally, bake for about an hour.
Can you make pumpkin oatmeal ahead of time?
You can make pumpkin oatmeal ahead of time as an easy to reheat breakfast throughout the week. Just store it covered in the refrigerator and microwave servings as needed.
If you are making this for a brunch or crowd, I suggest baking it immediately before serving. Thankfully it’s a super simple recipe!
How long does pumpkin oatmeal last?
Leftover pumpkin oatmeal will last in the refrigerator for about 5 days. I like to make a batch on Sunday night and let the whole family enjoy it for breakfast over the course of the week.
Is pumpkin oatmeal healthy?
This will depend on the diet you follow, but our pumpkin oatmeal is full of grains and fiber from the oats, as well as vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the pumpkin. It is also entirely gluten free.
It is not keto or paleo friendly as it contains sugar and carbohydrates. It is not low fat, as we use sweetened condensed milk.
Pumpkin Oatmeal for a Lot of People
For Christmas, we visit my parents every year and there are at least 20 folks and often more for breakfast. I usually put out a giant dish of scrambled eggs, bacon, and bagels.
But this year we’re numbering more like 30 so I was trying to think of something easy we could shove in the oven and ignore for a while.
The savory stuff is covered, and I was thinking about maybe a baked oatmeal. And then I realized we’re coming to the end of the season where it’s acceptable to serve pumpkin at all meals, so duh. Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal!
My son 8 year old says it’s like he’s getting to eat pumpkin pie for breakfast, but I’m excited he’s actually eating a squash! Mmmmm
Pumpkin any time of year?
If we’re being totally honest, I’m a year round pumpkin indulger, I just try not to be too ‘in your face’ with it all the time.
But if you could see my pantry you’d know that pumpkin soup is just as likely to show up on our menu in July as it is in October. Because, PUMPKINNNNNN.

Tools we love
- Electric mixer – I love love love love love (x’s 100) my stand mixer. Really and truly. But my daily work horse is this handheld electric mixer. It even comes in allll the colors. Which, yay!
- Classic Kitchenaid stand mixer – Save the best for last? Or at least the most grand. I don’t know why, but a kitchen just doesn’t feel like a kitchen without one of these bad boys tucked away on the counter. My favorite things to make in ours are ginger cookies, no churn ice cream, and shredded chicken. Yup, seriously.

Soooo when do you add the oatmeal? Or do you pour the mixture over the oatmeal?
sorry! can't believe i left that out — it's in the pictures though. LOL, you just stir it in after you beat the other ingredients. i fixed the directions. thanks for letting me know!
not using 'real' milk, do you think it would work with vanilla almond milk? what about regular oats rather than the quick? this sounds so good. thanks
i think coconut cream + 1/2+ cup of powdered sugar would probably be your closest substitute. Let me know if you try it 🙂
Is it good to keep in the fridge and reheat it?
yes, definitely!
Easy and yummy. Thanks
April, can you make this in a slow cooker also? If so, do you know how long to cook it? thank you.
I haven’t tested it in a crockpot. My best educated guess would be low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Please let us know if you try!
Can you add mini chocolate chips, raisins, nuts and/or craisins?
absolutely, that would be delicious!
can you microwave this?
You can microwave the leftovers, but I wouldn’t cook it in the microwave to start.
Can you make and put in refigerator over night then bake in morning ?
I’m so in love with this recipe! I made it this morning, and it was a quick, easy, tasty breakfast. I love the pumpkin flavor.
I made the baked pumpkin oatmeal, and it was the perfect way to start a chilly morning! It’s warm, filling, and full of fall flavors. Plus, it’s so easy to make ahead, which makes busy mornings a breeze.
Pumpkin oatmeal is a delicious way to start the day on a fall morning! Cozy morning breakfast!
Such a fun fall breakfast idea! Everyone in my family just loved it!
Perfect for fall and so easy to make! We enjoyed your recipe!
