Long time, no recipe! My Baked Banana Oatmeal is one of the top recipes on KERF and I haven’t made it in ages. Years! Now that my baking bug has kicked in, I knew I wanted to make it for breakfast one morning. Put it in after nursing and take it out after my shower!
However, of course this fall had to be a pumpkin version!!
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg beat
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg ginger or pumpkin pie spice
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup raisins optional
- 1 tbsp brown sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375*
- Combine the dry ingredients except brown sugar
- Combine the wet ingredients, including raisins
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix well.
- Sprinkle top with brown sugar
- Bake for 30 minutes, until center is set.
- Allow to cool slightly and cut into portions. Save one for tomorrow!
This was soooo good! Gooey and pumpkiny and great hot out of the oven. It’s a cinch to make and bakes in 30 minutes flat.
Topped with melty Barney Butter frosting and some Autumn Spice Granola [NOW AVAILABLE online!!]
Served with some delicious coffee! Although I’m drinking mostly decaf (half caf when Matt is home), I’m LOVING coffee again!
Late morning we ventured out to meet my mother’s group!! I’ve been attending since I was just barely pregnant and have enjoyed watching these cute babies grow up! It was fun to introduce Maze and to hear about the sleep training and solid foods that they are now going through. It’s great to be a part of a group with older babies because I can watch, observe and learn!
Alice hosted and made this awesome apple bread, which I had a slice of
Along with some cucumber and hummus (around 1pm)
There was also some vino!! Although it never got opened. Hilarious before noon though.
Maze had a blast and slept on my chest for a good portion of the time.
He was sportin’ a cute outfit for all of the ladies – including Bison Booties which I’m featuring on BERF soon!
Back at home I had a quick + simple lunch
Leftover chicken fried rice (Hillary posted both recipes in the comments from yesterday’s post!) mixed with chopped carrot and pepper and a bed of baby kale. Topped with spiced pecans!
My afternoon was spent on a crazy “organize the closet” project. I put away all of my maternity clothes (for baby #2 – we are hoping for about 3-4 years apart if we are lucky) and my summer clothes into the attic and unpacked my winter stuff. I am in this very weird stage where maternity clothes are swimming on me but a lot of my old clothes just feel too snug. I have about 3 pairs of pants that fit well and 20 pairs that fit un-well! I don’t want to go shopping, so I guess I need to eat less dessert : )
Afternoon snack: a pumpkin ball!
Matt and I went downtown for dinner tonight at the last minute when we got wind of a fun event at Fellini’s – live music and free beer sponsored by our radio friends at 106.1 The Corner.
We didn’t end up staying too long, but we did run into newlyweds Jess + Mike!
A spontaneous dinner out occurred.
We used to say “we’re about to have a baby better go out to dinner while we can” and now the mindset is “we’re about to have an older, crying, baby/toddler/child better go out while we can!”
FYI, everyone thinks Maze in his mohawk jacket is Matt wearing a puppy!
We found more live music at The Whiskey Jar that pulled us in! <3 Bluegrass!!
We enjoyed peanuts with our peanut. [I had to…]
Shared a mint julep [had to…]
I got a salad with spinach, egg, prosciutto and homemade ranch dressing
Matt got this huge BBQ sampler and we both shared bites
I had a bite of Pumpkin Bar when we returned home….what’s a few more days without my old jeans 
[PSA: My blog server is migrating tonight, 10/17, from 9pm to about 1am EST. Everything will be down during that time and will hopefully come back soon!]

October 17, 2012 at 7:26 amWhen i wear my baby people always think he’s a dog too. I don’t t know why no one guesses a baby. Strange world we live in!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
October 17, 2012 at 7:27 amWinter will definitely bring back the baked oatmeal for me! I need to make another batch of my baked oatmeal muffins – they are awesome to take to-go if you are always running late (and I am).
You guys are the coolest parents – love how you take Maze everywhere!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
October 17, 2012 at 7:31 amHaving that mother’s group must be wonderful! I haven’t made baked oatmeal in far too long – thanks for the reminder! Love the pic of you and Matt at the top of the page, so cute!
Laura says
October 17, 2012 at 7:31 amLove mint juleps! What a treat!
Molly @ RDexposed says
October 17, 2012 at 7:32 amI kind of wish he were carrying a puppy in the carrier. That would be awesome.
Kelsey says
October 17, 2012 at 7:33 amIt’s always important to indulge in a little dessert:) You’re looking so great, Kath!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama says
October 17, 2012 at 7:39 amThat was my favorite part of getting together with my mother’s group when my 2 were first born – observing and learning!
Love the Mohawk hoodie!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
October 17, 2012 at 7:42 amMaze looks so cute in that outfit with the booties! And I love the quilt he’s laying on, I love quilts although don’t have any, no one in my family is much into sewing. I tried to make one in High School but it’s one of those projects you start but never finish…
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
October 17, 2012 at 7:42 amMaze is quite the stylin’ little guy! 😉
Lauren says
October 17, 2012 at 7:42 amI haven’t made baked oatmeal in ages either but I think it’s such a great option for quick fall breakfasts. So easy to heat and eat.
Linda says
October 17, 2012 at 7:43 amHi, I want to try the baked pumpkin oatmeal recipe, but quick question, what is a “scant cup of pumpkin”? Thanks!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 8:34 amThe opposite of a heaping cup… Just use a barely full cup
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
October 17, 2012 at 7:44 amYour pumpkin oatmeal breakfast looks delish…is it a loaf? What a fun evening you had! Enjoy all the stages of Mazen…they will pass by rather quickly…before you know it there will be two and you will wonder where the time went. My boys are in their teens now…a whole different ball game…but I am still loving every minute of it!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 8:35 amYeah since I used a small deeper pan it came out like a loaf. Could also be a pie!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
October 17, 2012 at 10:08 amLovely! I think I am going to try adapting it to be dairy and egg free. It only contains sugar on the top…does that mean it is not very sweet? Perhaps I could add a touch of honey? Off to the grocery store for some pumpkin! 🙂
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:35 amYeah not very sweet at all. I only did a tiny bit of brown sugar and could barely taste it.
Lindsey @ Pas de Deux says
October 17, 2012 at 7:46 amI’ve never made baked oatmeal… Might have to whip some up tonight for quick and easy oatmeal breakfasts the next few mornings!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
October 17, 2012 at 7:46 amcan’t believe i’ve NEVER made or eaten baked oatmeal before!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says
October 17, 2012 at 7:49 amI am DROOOLING over that baked pumpkin oatmeal! So yummy and may have just changed my breakfast choice for tomorrow!
Alicia @ Wanna Be Ina says
October 17, 2012 at 8:00 amIs the baked oatmeal almost like a bar?
Your jeans might not fit well til you stop breast feeding, even if you cut out the extra dessert. Mother nature’s way of making sure that the baby gets fed even if we go in to starvation mode. I remember a friend being very angry at her trainer because he said, “Until you stop breast feeding, those saddle bags will not come off!” BTW-I am not at all inferring that you have saddle bags! 😉
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 8:33 amMore like a soft loaf than a bar.
And 🙂
Becca says
October 17, 2012 at 10:50 amAgreed! The body holds onto about 5 lbs to protect the milk supply (don’t want to run out!). Wish more mothers new about this…
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
October 17, 2012 at 1:34 pmIt took me 12-14 weeks to fit [somewhat comfortably] in my pre-pregnancy clothes, which I wasn’t expecting, especially because I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight well before that.
It might be sooner for you, since you’re back to being fairly active — my C-section recovery definitely delayed my activity. I’m amazed just at reading about all of the walking you were doing soon after labor — that was out of the question for me 🙁
Regardless of weight, I guess it takes things a little while to go back to where they were before. Fortunately, the timing worked well with getting back into work clothes by the end of maternity leave.
Cristal says
October 17, 2012 at 7:18 pmI had the opposite happen to me. I lost a ton of weight while I was breast feeding. It was actually coming off really fast. Then after 14 months I stopped, and I have gained back about 5 pounds…
Kelsey says
October 17, 2012 at 8:07 amKath, do you ship to Canada?
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 8:31 amThat’s a question for Matt – let me ask
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:50 amHere’s what he said: ” Sure if UPS will go there… otherwise I could look into international options on google checkout”
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
October 17, 2012 at 8:19 amI love Mazen’s little pants! SO cute!! They show how tiny he is! 🙂
deva by definition says
October 17, 2012 at 8:33 amI love that mohawk jacket, and I bet that ranch dressing was divine :-).
Laura says
October 17, 2012 at 8:36 amI love your baked oatmeal recipe. I made a double batch on the weekend a couple of weeks ago and froze it in individual portions. I eat one for breakfast almost every morning. It reheats beautifully!
Deirdre @ Oh Well Whatever says
October 17, 2012 at 8:40 amYes get out while you can! My husband and I used to go out a lot and when Ryleigh was a baby it was so easy!! Now she is 21 months and even though she is a super good easy going kid it is not that much fun anymore. Oh and watch out for the waiters that will place beers, wine, hot coffee, and burning hot plates of food right in front of the high chair. Ugh! Had a giant tall glass of beer at Claim Jumper crash, poor and break all over the baby one night – we missed her hand by a split second when we were talking as the waiter placed it in front of her. Luckily everyone was ok and the bottom basket of my stroller is now marinated in beer. Classy.
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides says
October 17, 2012 at 8:45 amI definitely need to make some baked oatmeal! It’s perfect for my breakfast – and my toddler’s. He wakes up ravenous and can hardly wait for me to make his egg and toast. And, I hate to say it, but you are right about eating out now while Maze is little. It’s SO much easier when they nap a lot or can be soothed by a nursing session in the corner of a booth. M is 15-months-old and though we refuse to not eat out because of him, some restaurant trips are a little less fun when he wants to smash beans and avocado on your white shirt as he whines.
Cait says
October 17, 2012 at 8:47 amOh yay!! I’m so glad Hillary posted the recipes!! 🙂
I’ve never done baked oatmeal but keep meaning to try it…tis the season for pumpkin so I may just have to give it a whirl! Anything that saves time nowadays is A-OK with me!
Lisamarie says
October 17, 2012 at 8:50 amI am fairly new to your blog, & am enjoying going through, trying new recipes, & reminiscing, when my own were so young & small. Not to discourage you, or maybe to encourage you, depending on how you look at it, but I found after my first that even after I had lost my weight, my body had changed shape & a lot of my bottoms just didn’t fit quite the same. I know it’s fairly early for you, but I would still treat myself to one or two versatile bottoms that you feel good in. I waited a long time, & looking back felt kinda like frumpy mommy for some time. I wish I had just bit the bullet & treated myself to a couple outfits that made me feel good while I was at that in between stage.
Food for thought..
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:39 amWelcome to the blog! I just did that and bought some transition jeans at Old Navy today : )
Alison says
October 17, 2012 at 8:58 amOoof. I NEED to do some major organization of closets/dressers/the complete and udder MADNESS that has become our clothing situation since having a baby. I can.not.keep.up! I’m hoping this post puts some motvation in me….and then, if I could just couple TIME with motivation, I’d be set!! (Congrats to you for finding both!!)
Emily @ www.main-eats.com says
October 17, 2012 at 9:10 amSuper cute title! That oatmeal also looks scrumptuous!
Ella says
October 17, 2012 at 9:33 am‘attagirl Kath. You deserve to enjoy dessert 🙂 You look amazing! Mine is 9 months tomorrow and my pre-baby pants are still a little snug. I doubt you’ll have that problem when Mazen is 9 months tho!
Nicole says
October 17, 2012 at 9:52 amYour old jeans may not ever fit the same–even if you get to the same weight you were before Maze. I found I had to go to Old Navy and try a couple different styles after having my third son. Some things just change and never quite go back (like me going from a size 8 shoe pre-kids to a 9-9 1/2 after three!) LOL
Lindsey says
October 17, 2012 at 9:59 amI wanted to say really quick that I love the last sentence you threw in there. Your old jeans may never fit the way they used to, but that’s ok. It’s amazing the way my perspective on fitting into those jeans has changed since I had my son. Of course, being healthy is key, but I find that I give myself a little more time to relax about it now 🙂 Enjoy your pumpkin bar, girl!
Eating 4 Balance says
October 17, 2012 at 9:59 amThat pumpkin oatmeal looks fantastic!
What was wrong with your old blog server? I hope the transition goes smoothly!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:37 amIs an inhouse transfer I’m not switching companies
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
October 17, 2012 at 10:06 amI have about two pair of pants that fit well too (I’m regretting wearing such tight clothes before I was pregnant- they were pretty slim then) but I can button all of them, but I would NEVER wear them out —– I told my mom yesterday over the phone that ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do!’ I don’t want to wear elastic maternity pants because that will never motivate me to make my clothes fit better. Ugh.
I’m going to have to make the pumpkin balls today! (that is if nap-time allows 🙂 )
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:37 amI just went to Old Navy which was having a great sale and got 2 pairs of inexpensive transition jeans. Its amazing how clothes that fit make you feel so much better!
Carly @ Snack Therapy says
October 17, 2012 at 10:14 amI’m in love with that mohawk jacket! How hilarious that people think Matt is carrying a dog… Do people actually do that?!
Kate says
October 17, 2012 at 11:42 amYes, they do. I live in Portland, OR though which is basically the U.S. capital of “do whatever weird stuff you want” and also the capital of “people who think their dogs are children”.
Carly @ Snack Therapy says
October 17, 2012 at 12:28 pmSo funny! I’m from Northern California, and on a trip down to SoCal (Orange County) I saw multiple people pushing dogs in strollers.
Nicole says
October 17, 2012 at 10:24 amGirl you’re such a huge help in my life! Mazen is about a week or so older than my baby boy, Santiago, so I love love love reading all of his milestones and your milestones as a mama – but things like puttin away maternity clothes, organizing baby’s big boy clothes, etc – I never remember that I ought to do these things until I see your blog. Today’s plan? Maternity clothes out! Although, like you most of my maternity wear is big on me and I’m prettyyyy sure my skinny jeans aren’t going to zip up too well yet. I could always give em a try, though.
You’re lovely! Thanks for the pumpkin delight recipe 🙂 it looks fantastic!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:34 am🙂
the 3volution of j3nn says
October 17, 2012 at 10:30 amThe baked pumpkin oatmeal looks deeelish! And those booties are, OMG, sooo cute!
Catherine says
October 17, 2012 at 10:37 amLol at people thinking Matt is wearing a puppy. I love that mohawk jacket. 🙂
Becca says
October 17, 2012 at 10:52 am…and while the babies seem so different in age and development now, they will one day all being going to school together and attending each others’ birthdays. How fun to have a group of (similar) aged babies to “grow old together”!
Also, how big was your morning’s baked oatmeal portion? The recipe says it makes 4, but I am trying to get an idea of that size… was your morning portion 1 of 4? Thanks!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 11:31 amYes, one of four
Becca says
October 19, 2012 at 2:23 pmThank you, Kath! Going to make it this week.
Gosh, you’ve introduced me to so many ways to eat oats (overnight, blended, whipped, and now baked)!
Grace @ Grace Dishes says
October 17, 2012 at 11:17 amThis looks delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Gorgeous photos as usual.
Kate says
October 17, 2012 at 11:39 amThat’s so funny/silly that people would think your mohawk’d babe is a puppy. But then again, I actually saw someone on the train here who actually DID have a puppy in pretty much the same carrier the other day, though, so…
Annette @FitnessPerks says
October 17, 2012 at 11:44 amI pulled a bunch of winter type clothes out too! It’s chilly now!
Em @ Yep. I Ate That. says
October 17, 2012 at 11:57 amLovely photos. I tried the spiced pecans — and so, so good!
Lindsay says
October 17, 2012 at 12:04 pmI hear you on the not wanting to go shopping for new clothes! I have boxes of clothes that still don’t fit me (the pregnancy weight just isn’t melting off like I’d hoped) so I am still wearing maternity pants. Although I did finally buy one new pair of pants this weekend since I am down to only 2 pairs of maternity pants that fit and one of them are getting a bit big.
Love the BisonBooties!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
October 17, 2012 at 12:13 pmOh good Luck with the server migration. Fun times behind the scenes, no doubt. Hope it’s all for good reasons and not b/c you’ve been having glitches. Servers can be so frustrating!
That baked pumpkin oatmeal, oh wow. I want a big slice of it! The chewiness, heartiness, and pumpkin..yes, please!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 12:14 pmYeah it’s just an internal thing – nothing on my end!
Annie says
October 17, 2012 at 1:15 pmI know you weren’t a huge coffee drinker before Mazen but am curious as to whether or not you weaned yourself off caffeine while trying to get pregnant, specifically within the two week wait period…thanks!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 1:46 pmI had pretty much switched to decaf, but I drank black tea and a little caffeine throughout pregnant. Just never more than 1 caffeinated thing at a time (so never 2-3 cups of black tea). The research says a small amount is OK.
Allison k says
October 17, 2012 at 1:41 pmAre you planning on sleep training? Also…how do you get those pants to stay on mazen? He’s still so cute and tiny!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 1:45 pmI’m hoping that being proactive about crib introducing early and doing the shush-pat techniques (which you can do both holding them and while they are lying in the crib when they’re older) will help him learn so we won’t have to do anything drastic. I don’t have any plans to do any Ferbering, but we’ll cross that bridge if we get there.
[email protected] Food Katie's Way says
October 17, 2012 at 1:44 pmI laughed out loud when I read that everyone thinks Matt is holding a puppy…I love that hoody!
I remember making that baked pumpkin oatmeal when you first posted it and I loved it! It was part of a weekly rotation in fact! For whatever reason I haven’t made it for ever but I have a can of pumpkin calling my name for the this weekend and this recipe will be part of it!
Michelle (Peachy Palate) says
October 17, 2012 at 1:59 pmYour pumpkin oatmeal looks awesome! I made a batch a while back…seriously the best type of baked oatmeal…ever! I always make little individual portions…going to check out your recipe too though! 🙂 http://peachypalate.com/2012/09/06/baked-in-a-boat/ – just if your interested!
Ellen @ Wannabe Health Nut says
October 17, 2012 at 2:48 pmThank you for sharing the recipe; it looks SO good! Love Maze in his rolled up jeans…he’s such a cutie. 🙂
Haley says
October 17, 2012 at 3:02 pmThat Autumn Spice granola is divine! My Mom & sister visited GH Cville two weeks ago (from Richmond) while they were out your way to visit an apple orchard. They dined in, raved about the “freshest ingredients” on your Dakota bread, and brought me some loot when we met up at the beach last week, including the granola, chocolate sunflower butter, and cinnamon chip bread. Holy yum! They said we HAVE to go back next time I’m in town (I’m in E. Tennessee) =).
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 4:00 pmOh fun!! So glad you enjoyed your visit!!
David says
October 17, 2012 at 3:05 pmI bake your banana oatmeal all the time here in Australia, weekly in fact!
Marjie says
October 17, 2012 at 3:36 pmI just bought that Mohawk jacket for a shower gift . Target in case anyone else is wondering where to find it.
Millie Snyder says
October 17, 2012 at 3:56 pmWho doesn’t enjoy a glass of vino? 🙂 Baked Banana Oatmeal looks delightful!
Justeen says
October 17, 2012 at 4:23 pmThe baked oatmeal looks awesome – you had me at “gooey and pumpkiny”! Going to make some for quick breakfasts during the week!
By the way, after you raved about the apple cheddar scuffin at the bakery, I just HAD to run over there this afternoon and get one! SO GOOD. Definitely on my list of fav GH treats, and it’s not even sweet!
KathEats says
October 17, 2012 at 5:01 pmOh man, I need one now!! Glad you liked it!
Miss Polkadot says
October 17, 2012 at 6:50 pmYour baked oats look great. While I’m eating oats every day I haven’t had them baked in quite some time.
I bet Mazen is going to have lots of fun with the other toddlers while you’re learning from the moms :).
Lisa says
October 17, 2012 at 7:46 pmYou are doing great- only 5 weeks out- and look fabulous! Those jeans might take a year to fit “right” even if you lose all the weight before then. It takes 9 months in…will take at least 9 months out. I’m sure you know that.
My advice would be to get some flattering and comfy jeans/pants to get you through the winter. You want to feel good while you wait for your body to get back to “normal”.
Loving pumpkin oatmeal here too- almost every morning lately! YUM!
Carrie says
October 17, 2012 at 8:49 pmLove all the cute outfits you’ve been putting Mazen in. When I played dolls when I was little, I would change my doll’s outfit every 10 minutes because that was the most fun part! I imagine it’s a bit different with a real baby, but still seems fun! 🙂
Lisa says
October 17, 2012 at 9:00 pmThat plate is beautiful. Do you have a whole set? Can you tell me the pattern. I’d love to owe a set if it won’t break the bank.
KathEats says
October 18, 2012 at 9:40 amIt was one of my grandmother’s plates and I just have the one – it is very pretty though!
Tami @Nutmeg Notebook says
October 17, 2012 at 9:07 pmI love baked oatmeal and need to make some soon. Don’t worry about the jeans not fitting, it’s only been a few weeks.
Gina @HealthLoveandChocolate says
October 17, 2012 at 10:43 pmThe baked oatmeal looks fabulous. And I definitely have my eye on that Autumn Spice Granola now, I may just have to place an order!
Mel says
October 18, 2012 at 3:46 amJust bookmarked your baked oatmeal recipe! I think I have all the ingredients to make it, although oats are a bit of a commodity where I am! (Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco) But I think the baked oatmeal might be worth it. 🙂
Jun says
October 18, 2012 at 4:07 amHi Kath, I’ve been reading your blog for long, and just so summoned the urge to tell you what an inspiration you are, and I’m happy to witness that there is now a cute addition to your family.
I’ve a question for you: How do you recover from over-eating days? Say you ate too much one day, how you do prevent yourself from not beating yourself down and feel motivated to practice a healthy lifestyle? I’d love to hear your tips and advices!
Your meals are fantastic! No wonder you never get bored of eating healthy (and balanced!).
KathEats says
October 18, 2012 at 9:40 amI don’t have any secrets – just make the best choices you can the next day! Here’s a post I wrote about the ups and downs of food a long time ago, but I love this concept: http://www.readbreathe.com/food/the-squiggly-line-effect/
Sonal says
October 18, 2012 at 4:44 amThat oatmeal looks amazing!! 🙂 Anything with pumpkin has my vote.
Alison says
October 18, 2012 at 5:34 amLooks like an awesome day of eats! Mazen is so cute in that mohawk sweater 🙂 Also, I need to try that baked pumpkin oatmeal!!
[email protected] Broken Cookies Don't Count says
October 18, 2012 at 5:52 amLooks like a fun and busy day!!
zoe krylova says
October 18, 2012 at 8:07 ami ate at the whiskey jar for the first time recently. i loved the house made pickles they brought before the meal. i had the blackened catfish sandwich, so delicious. it came with a side salad jumbled with water cress and kale. i also drank an amazing ginger kombucha, as i had a meeting afterward and couldn’t partake in the tempting cocktails! btw, the presence of ceiling fans always helped a lot when we went out with our babies. both of mine were mesmerized by the motion!
KathEats says
October 18, 2012 at 9:10 amI love those pickles too !
Angel7 says
October 18, 2012 at 12:09 pmThat would be funny if someone actually carried a puppy or animal in a baby carrier (LOL) But I am sure that there are carriers of the such for animals.
Frannie says
October 20, 2012 at 10:05 amThe pumpkin oatmeal is very good but needed way more spice! Did you really use only 1/4 t of pumpkin pie spice? Mine was very bland. I will up the spice next time. The concept is great though and I thank you for the recipe.
V says
October 22, 2012 at 3:18 pmYour banana baked oatmeal is a staple recipe for me – I make it every Sunday night and have breakfast ready for most of the week. Don’t even have to read the recipe anymore! I was not a huge fan of oatmeal before reading your blog, but love it everyday now. Cheapest and healthiest breakfast!
Robert ferrari says
October 22, 2012 at 3:25 pmThat baked banana oatmeal sounds absolutely amazing! And the photos!
Amelia says
October 22, 2012 at 10:00 pmEnjoy that dessert while you’re still breastfeeding – the weight will still come off over the next few months and until then, get some interim pants 🙂
Melissa Moore Johnson says
October 20, 2013 at 12:12 pmBaked pumpkin oatmeal: My husband served it up à la mode. It was decadent with a side of coffee. Probably best to eat ice cream in the morning anyway, right? So you can work it off for the rest of the day?
