Secret Recipe Club, Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

the Painted Apron

9 years ago

This month my Secret Recipe Club assignment is Little Bit of Everything. Julie lives in the midwest and loves to cook, travel and garden. She also collects cookbooks and spoons- Fun collections!

Roasted Kale and Arugula Salad really appealed to me, and how about Honey Cinnamon Creme Brulee, yum!

Ultimately I decided on Pumpkin Oatmeal, it sounded so perfect for cool fall mornings…which I am still waiting for…but I’ll be ready when they arrive!!

Oats, milk, eggs, pumpkin and maple syrup

Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl, then the dry in another bowl, and then combine

I added the pecan topping half way through baking so the pecans would not get too brown

I am calling my version Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal because I added more pecans and brown sugar. After baking you have a wonderful pumpkin mousse-like oatmeal topped with sweet crunchy pecans

I baked my oatmeal in a casserole dish

Julie bakes hers in individual ramekins, you can see her Pumpkin Oatmeal here

You could also bake these in a jar, cooking time will be shorter for individual dishes than a casserole

Any way you chose to serve it, it will be a welcome fall breakfast!
