Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal


3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup raisins
  • Whisk together eggs, oil, milk and vanilla.  Then stir in pumpkin puree.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices.
  • Combine egg mixture and oat mixture.
  • Add raisins.
  • Pour into an 8x8 baking dish.  Then cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, give the oatmeal a little stir.  I found if you don't do this, the egg mix tends to settle into the bottom.  So give it a little stir.
  • Then put the dish into a cold oven, and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • If I am making it for my family I cook it right away and don't let it sit overnight.
Serve with cream or milk or you can cut the oatmeal into squares to serve, or just scoop it out as you wish!
