I like both, but tend to favor apples a little more. If you’re like me then you’ll truly appreciate the combination of the two fall favorites in this Pumpkin Apple Baked Oatmeal.

One of my favorite ways to make oatmeal when the weather starts to cool down is to bake it. This Cranberry Maple Pecan Baked Oatmeal was a favorite in our house last winter and I’ll definitely be making it again this fall. I love the way it makes the house smell and it’s perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch.

Can I Make Baked Oatmeal the Night Before Serving It?

Yes. Baked oatmeal reheats nicely in the microwave for a quick breakfast, snack or even dessert. It’s a great option to make if you’re feeding the whole family or if you do meal prep. I’ve kept mine in the fridge for 3-4 days and it still tastes great after it’s been warmed up.

Can I Freeze Baked Oatmeal?

Yes. I freeze my baked oatmeal the same way I freeze muffins. Let it cool completely, then cut it up into individual portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag. To defrost a portion, simply let it sit out on the counter for 15-20 minutes or pull a piece out the night before and let it defrost in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin on it’s own really doesn’t have much flavor and relies on the spices you add to it to give it that pumpkin pie taste. The apple adds natural sweetness, texture and it pairs well with the pumpkin pie spices.

Speaking of pumpkin pie spice you can either buy a prepackaged blend at the grocery store or you can make your own. For this recipe I only measured enough for the baked oatmeal, but if you plan on using it a lot this fall check out this homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe.

How Do I Make Baked Oatmeal?

Making baked oatmeal is as easy as making muffins, easier if you ask me. You’ll need a mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, a rubber spatula and a baking dish. I start by whisking together my wet ingredients. In this case, that’s the pumpkin, milk, egg, maple syrup and vanilla. Once everything is combined add in the dry ingredients and the apple. Stir everything together then pour it into a greased baking dish.

The final step before putting the oatmeal in the oven is to top it with a cinnamon sugar mixture. It adds a great sweet cinnamon flavor and creates crispy topping after it’s baked. The baked oatmeal takes between 30-35 minutes to bake. You want it to be golden around the edges and set. No jiggling in the middle.
