Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Bring 2 3/4 cups of water to a boil.

3. 3

   Cook the oatmeal for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it thickens up, it will be slightly undercooked.

4. 4

   Let it sit and cool while you mix the rest of the ingredients.

5. 5

   Mix all the remaining ingredients until well combined.

6. 6

   Start adding the oatmeal, a spoonful at a time at first and mixing in before adding more.

7. 7

   If you add the oatmeal too quickly, the eggs will start to cook, and you will end up with little pieces of scrambled eggs in there.

8. 8

   Once the mixture is combined, pour into a lightly greased 8x8 square pan, or a deep dish round pie pan.

9. 9

   Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until the oatmeal is firm and lightly browned near the edges.

10. 10

    To prevent cracking, you may bake in a water bath, but I don't bother with that step.

11. 11

    Makes 4 large serving, or 6 smaller servings that work better if you are serving something alongside.

12. 12

    I like to top with a little bit of light whipped cream (can) for added sweetness.

13. 13

    If you won't be doing this, you might want to add in another 1/4 cup of sugar.
