Pumpkin, pecans, brown sugar, and oatmeal combine in this classic recipe made over for fall!

I’ve never eaten a lot of oatmeal.  Growing up, grits was the breakfast staple in our household.  It wasn’t that I didn’t like oatmeal.  It was more about the fact that my mom didn’t really make oatmeal much.  As a result, I’ve never been a big oatmeal eater as an adult.  I guess it’s all about what you’re used to.  That all changed once I tried baked oatmeal.

Pumpkin, pecans, brown sugar, and oatmeal combine in this classic recipe made over for fall! I was working on my first cookbook when I wanted to include a breakfast supplemental e-book to offer as an incentive for preorders.  Scanning through some old recipe cards, I found a recipe for baked oatmeal.  An hour later I was in love.  Baked oatmeal gives you all the great flavor and nuttiness of granola.  It’s nothing like the gummy, sticky instant oatmeal I remember as a child.  This stuff is amazing.  I like it so much, I took that basic recipe and adapted it into several other recipes varying the flavors a bit.

This Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is my new favorite.  It almost comes out cake-like with an even nuttier flavor than the original recipe.  Combined with the classic pumpkin spice and pecan flavors of fall, it’s a real treat.  Even my mom, who really doesn’t care for oatmeal, loves this stuff.

It reheats well too.  So much so, that I often make a batch of this on the weekend just to have as a quick and easy breakfast during the week.

Pumpkin, pecans, brown sugar, and oatmeal combine in this classic recipe made over for fall! Y’all are going to love this not only because of the amazing flavor, but also because of how ridiculously easy it is to make.  It’s one of those dump and stir recipes that will make your morning a breeze.

    I made the baked pumpkin pecan oatmeal today. I followed the recipe exactly. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it had so much flavor. It was easy to make and my husband and I enjoyed it. I’m curious to see how it will taste as a leftover tomorrow morning. Thanks for the recipe Stacey! We watch you on Simply Southern and have made several of the delicious recipes you had on the show.

    This looks incredible…but… do you just cut and eat it hot?? You said it reheats well so I assume that it is a hot dish? I’ve never been big on oatmeal either but this sounds really good just not sure how to eat it??????

      Yes! You can take a big scoop and eat it fresh out of the oven or cut it into squares after it’s cooled and reheat for busy mornings. Regardless, I prefer it better warm.
