Reviews from readers:
I made this on Halloween morning for my family of four and it was a hit. I got thumbs up and hugs from everyone. It made so much, we are still reheating it and eating it three days later.
I made it last night and ate it right out of the oven with whipping cream on top…yummy!
More tonight for dessert with the hubby…yummy times 2!
I have this in the oven right now and the house smells amazing! The sugar on the crunchy topping is melting to make that beautiful browned topping. How will I ever wait for it to cool before diving in? Thanks you for this recipe.
It makes a wonderful lazy Saturday morning treat!
How to make gluten free pumpkin oatmeal:
This recipe can easily be made gluten free! Chex has both Cinnamon Chex and Apple Cinnamon Chex that are both gluten free that could be used as a substitute for the cinnamon toast crunch topping. Use gluten free oats in the main part of the recipe.
Pour some warm maple syrup on top. Leftovers are good heated up too. Enjoy!

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2¾ cups old fashioned oats
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 3 cups milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups crumbled Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- syrup, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F., and spray an 8x8-inch (or 9x9-inch) baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, sugar, raisins, spices, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients; whisk until combined. Pour into the prepared dish..
- Bake for 30 minutes, then sprinkle the crumbled cereal on top, pressing gently into the baking oatmeal. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes, until the oatmeal feels set and firm.
- Serve warm with plenty of warmed syrup
Notes
- This recipe is gluten-free adaptable. Make sure that the following ingredients are gluten free versions of: oats, vanilla extract and syrup, and leave off the cereal topping (or use a gluten free cinnamon cereal alternative).
- This recipe is best when eaten the day it’s made. You can save leftovers overnight in the refrigerator. The crumbles won’t stay crunchy overnight, but you can sprinkle some more on, heat it up and drizzle with warm syrup.

AMAZING! I cannot stop eating this! I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and made a crumb topping (like in apple crisp but less sugar) instead of the cereal. Thank you!
I made it last night and ate it right out of the oven (burned the roof of my mouth…not smart!) with whipping cream on top…yummy! More tonight for dessert with the hubby…yummy times 2!
It wasn’t real sweet 🙂 , enjoyed the raisins, I did make a flour, brown sugar, cinnamon & butter topping and I will make again…thanks for reposting!

@Lori, Can’t wait to hear how you liked it!
This sounds and looks delicious! I want it now!
My daughter will love this, I bet you can add some shredded carrots in there to.
I Love baked oatmeal but this version with the crunchy topping is perfect!
That actually looks amazing. I love oats!!
Oh my gosh, I love pumpkin ANYTHING! I’ll have to try that recipe ASAP!
This sounds phenomenal! Whole Foods & Cascadian Farms both sell a healthier cinnamon toast crunch knock-off, and I’m totally using one of those to make this :).
