Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal

• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 2 tbsp organic brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup craisins (optional)
• 3 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• additional maple syrup, for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients including the oatmeal, brown sugar, spices and craisins. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients including the milk, eggs, pumpkin, syrup and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 pan and bake until set, about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm. Variation: The oatmeal may also be baked in indivual ramekin or cupcake tins, just cut down the baking time. NOTE: The “batter” can be prepared the night before. Just refrigerate and stir before baking.
