Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal

I’ve created this pumpkin pecan baked oatmeal recipe in partnership with Collective Bias, Inc. and Silk®. Thanks for supporting the brands that keep Healthy Liv up and running!

I ate the exact same oatmeal combination for breakfast every single day for all four years of high school, plus my freshman and sophomore year of college. It was quick-cooking oats with almondmilk, cinnamon, and dried fruit, in case you’re curious. And it was delicious. You may be thinking…wow, that’s incredibly boring. I’m way more creative than that, so maybe I should start a food blog (You probably are! And you should!)

Fortunately, I’ve changed my ways and love to mix up my breakfasts these days. I do still love oatmeal, though, and have recently discovered the awesomeness of baked oatmeal.

First, I got hooked on this blueberry banana version, and now, I love this pumpkin pecan baked oatmeal.Baked oatmeal reminds me of a big fluffy muffin and it feels like eating a really decadent baked good for breakfast, but I love it more because one serving actually keeps me full. And it’s super nutritious and a big serving size. I’ve been making baked oatmeal a lot on the weekends since it only takes about 10 minutes to mix the ingredients together and then breakfast for the week is done! 

This pumpkin pecan baked oatmeal recipe uses mostly pantry staples, so it’s easy to make anytime. All you’ll need for the dry ingredients are quick-cooking oats, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

For the liquid ingredients, it’s just pumpkin puree (fresh or canned), a touch of coconut oil, honey, eggs, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and and almondmilk.

I’ve used Silk® Almondmilk in place of traditional dairy milk for years, and my favorite is the Silk® Unsweetened Almondmilk since it’s really versatile to use in both savory recipes and sweet recipes, AND it’s really low in sugar.

You can serve your baked oatmeal in a bowl with a splash of almondmilk on top when it’s hot out of the oven… Or, my favorite, top it with a drizzle of honey and/or whipped cream. Whipped coconut cream is a great dairy-free option!

And if you’re currently in a breakfast rut like I was for uh, six years, here’s what I’ve been loving for breakfast lately for some ideas:

• Eggs- either veggie & cheese omelets or make-ahead egg “muffins” with salsa & avocado
• Sweet potatoes with almond butter– just the best
• Yogurt w/ fresh or frozen berries
• Smoothies
• Oatmeal- baked oatmeal (made in advance) or quick-cooking oats in the microwave topped with almondmilk, peanut butter, almond butter, dried fruit, fresh/frozen fruit, cinnamon, etc.

So tell me…what have you been having for breakfast lately? Any new ideas for me?
