Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal

I love oatmeal in the fall. I love pumpkin all year round.

This Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal is my first baked oats recipe, and I cannot wait to make it again. and again. As with every food I obsess over, I already have so many flavor ideas.

I knew what I wanted my baked oatmeal to be, and I ended up sounding like Goldilocks and the Three Bears:

• Not too soft - may as well make regular oatmeal!
• Not too hard - that's just a chewy granola bar?
• Just right!

My "just right" baked oatmeal stays in a square - a nice tall square as I envisioned - and yet is sorta soft still.

I nailed this on the first try. Then made it again. and again. Just to make sure.

 

 

Baked Oatmeal Recipe

I took some inspiration and guidance from this Baked Oatmeal recipe from Cooking Light magazine.

Having been a voracious reader of this delicious magazine since high school, it has always been such an honor to be a Cooking Light Blogger. I have gained so much from this community, and love the collaborations.

Anyway, Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal! I took the Cooking Light recipe and ran with it. Made it my own, veganized it. It looks little like the original, but the result is a solid recipe that tastes fabulous and provides a warm and filling breakfast.

or lunch.

Benefits of Turmeric Golden "Cream"

The curcumin in turmeric is a mood booster, did you know? (I mean, a spoonful of this Golden Cashew Cream boosts my mood just from the comfort food aspect, but yeah - right now I will take all the boost I can get.)

Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant.

Turmeric and cinnamon benefits continue: they are both known to be anti inflammatory, and some say these two ingredients are also heart healthy, and may lower blood sugars.

...and if you are wondering about the black pepper? Dr Greger says increased bioavailability!

So. Good fat + turmeric and cinnamon + black pepper = Beneficial Nutritional Powerhouse.

Beneficial Nutritional Powerhouse poured over Baked Pumpkin Oats?

Quick, easy, TASTY breakfast all week long!

 

Golden Cashew Cream shortcut

Because this golden saucy goodness takes literally a minute to make, I always have a fresh jar in the fridge. I have been adding it to all the things.

This Golden Cashew Cream recipe is already so quick and easy, but if you want even easier? Simply blend cashews, milk, a bit of maple syrup and my favorite Golden Milk Powder.

I love that stuff.

I sometimes get fancy and add fresh grated ginger. Sometimes vanilla too.
