Easy and Healthy Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal! The best thing to wake up to this fall!
Aside from really craving some cool fall weather, I really spoke to soon talking about the near perfect fall weather we had last week. It’s been in the 80’s-90’s this week. HOLY CRAP! Did I mention we don’t have A/C in our new house? We have this little portable unit but on toasty days we are all still melting. Usually we can open the windows at night and get a nice ocean breeze coming in, but not this week.
Despite the heat, I woke up early yesterday (thanks to the BIRTHDAY BOY–why won’t you sleep in anymore?) and decided to force fall with this Healthy Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal!
If it looks familiar, it’s because it is SO very similar to my Honey Baked Oatmeal. It has been getting rave reviews lately + climbing the popularity ladder for recipes on the blog 🙂
It really is so good too. Make them both! Warm oatmeal is my favorite breakfast during the fall/winter months. And this pumpkin oatmeal tastes like dessert. You could add some nuts to it too!
Off to celebrate our birthday boy! Happy almost Friday!
