Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal (revisited!)
Since we started quarantine back in early March, and probably even before, I’ve been eating this pumpkin baked oatmeal every morning. No lie, literally every morning! It’s easy to make, uses pantry ingredients that I can order from Thrive Market, and it’s just one less thing I have to think about before coffee.
Since we eat this every day, we’ve had to start making a double batch. I wrote a post last August about my love of eating pumpkin year-round. Now we rotate who makes the pumpkin baked oatmeal, but usually it’s my 12-year-old’s job. I haven’t made it in a while and when my youngest and I made it for a youtube video we had to call him in to make sure we had it right (we didn’t because we had a fit of giggles).
Anyway, enough blathering! Here’s the recipe!
