Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

What’s cozy, autumn-themed, and almost criminally easy to make? This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal, that’s what.

Squares of hearty baked oatmeal with vitamin-A-rich pumpkin, lightly spiced, and dotted with melty chocolate chips. I’d say this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal is pretty much the perfect autumn (or Halloween!) breakfast.

I haven’t been sharing a lot of pumpkin or squash related recipes here since I launched Kitchen Treaty’s new sister site a few months ago. It’s all going over there! The blog is called Good Gourds, and it’s all about summer squash, winter squash, and pumpkin. My goal is to make it a resource for all of the myriad varieties of squash and pumpkins out there – and recipes for all of them. Head that way if you’re looking for more pumpkin and other winter squash goodness!

But for this baked oatmeal recipe, I thought I’d bring it back to Kitchen Treaty because pumpkin deserves to make an appearance everywhere, darnit!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Ingredients

So what’s in this easy, hearty breakfast? We’ve got:

Pumpkin – naturally! Take it easy on yourself with canned or make yourself some homemade puree. Either works!

Milk – you can go dairy or dairy-free for this one – I recommend whole milk or oat milk.

Pure maple syrup – for a touch of decadent sweetness

Eggs – adds protein; helps keep your baked oatmeal together; quintessential breakfast necessity

Vanilla – yum

Rolled oats – Quick-cooking oats or the more thick old-fashioned rolled oats both work

Pumpkin pie spice – necessary! Use store-bought or make your own.

Salt – needed for balancing out all that sweetness and highlighting flavors

Chocolate chips – pumpkin’s best friend!

To make it, you first mix all of the wet ingredients together, then add the dry. All in one big bowl – so easy. Then dump it into a baking pan and bake. It’s literally so fast to make – I love whipping up a quick batch of baked oatmeal on Sundays to warm up for busy weekday morning breakfasts.

I hope you love this pumpkin baked oatmeal recipe as much as we do! Happy fall!
