Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Bites

I love having baked pumpkin oatmeal for breakfast in the fall. It’s gooey on the inside, crispy on the outside, and lovely to reheat the next day for a quick and easy breakfast.

Foodblog-7524 this !

I normally make it in a loaf shape and cut in in slices. Topped with almond butter and granola!

I was pleased that Mazen loved it, but the loaf was kind of hard to cut for him. So I had the idea of pouring the batter into mini muffin tin to make it easier to serve.

I made my first batch with coconut on top

Foodblog-0222_thumb

I found my first batch to be hard to remove from the pan. I think this is because I did not let them cool completely first. The second batch came out beautifully with some coconut oil rubbed well on the inside of the cups and a very patient 20 minute wait for cooling.

Using a knife to cut them out and twisting to remove worked best

    Haha I think the “allow to cool completely” part would be my downfall! I’m so bad about trying to take things out of the pan asap and store them away (or eat them…).

    Yumm-o! Do you think steel-cut oats would work? Or do they take too long to cook? I’m new to oatmeal, and I know you’re the guru!

      I don’t think they would cook enough. Maybe if they were mostly cooked first?

    Oooh baked pumpkin oatmeal!!! This looks so good. I’ve found I enjoy cooked pumpkin a lot more than raw. Plus, I love the idea of making them into muffins – totally portable. I could see bringing these into work for a healthy breakfast! 🙂

    Do you know how long the shelf life is for Coconut Oil? I bought some, kept it in my pantry, and it looked like it developed mold around the lid…This was my first experience with Coconut oil so maybe I wasn’t storing it properly?

      It should have a pretty long one. Mold sounds odd for an oil but better to be cautious

    And I bet this might work in reg sized muffin tins for a larger portable breakfast (maybe a longer cooking time thought?). I’ll give it a try this weekend and report back!

    I would also note that it is important to keep these in the fridge or freezer if you don’t eat right away – for some reason, I thought that they would keep like granola bars in a sealed container on the counter, but I was wrong!! They went bad really fast when left out of the fridge because of the dairy in them…which you would think is obvious haha a minor blonde moment on my part 😉

    Also, should the banana be added in to the ingredients chopped or mashed? Thank you 🙂

    Just a word of caution, you should ask your pediatrician about the safe age to give raisins to a baby. They are a big choking hazard and usually not recommended until at least two years of age. And even then, dentists don’t love kids eating raisins, they are so easily stuck in teeth and can lead to decay.

    • Casey says

      In 2010, the American Academy of Pediatrics removed raisins from their list of choking hazards because they couldn’t find any reported cases of children choking on raisins. The tooth decay thing does make sense though. Good thing we have toothbrushes!
