Baked Oatmeal in Small Pumpkin
- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2 sugar pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (extra for sprinkling)
- 2 cups old fashioned oats (or steel cut are even better for you!!)
- 1 egg
- 3⁄4 - 1 cup low-fat milk (depending on how milky you like your oatmeal and extra for splashing)
- 1 apple (diced small)
directions
- Cut tops off the pumpkins on an angle, so the lid will go back on well. Clean out and set aside.
- Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Stir well and divide batter evenly between the two pumpkins.
- Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
- Place both pumpkins on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes with top off. Place top on, loosely, to allow steam to escape and bake 25-40 minutes mores until pumpkin is soft enough to scoop and oatmeal is done.
- After it is done, add a splash of milk.
- Remember: When doling out scoops be sure to scrape up some of that baked pumpkin goodness with the spiced oatmeal.
- You can also cook it with the top off the entire time – the oatmeal will still come out tasting great.

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
