Bite into the delicious, gooey center of this pumpkin cinnamon oatmeal with a crunchy, buttery topping that will melt in your mouth! Enjoy it warm for breakfast or as a dessert topped with ice cream.
Making Overnight Oatmeal
This recipe for pumpkin oatmeal can easily be adjusted to be made asap. Simply by replacing the old fashioned rolled oats with minute oats (or quick oats) you can achieve a similar result in way less time.
However, the overnight method is super convenient if you are wanting the oatmeal for breakfast the following day. It also helps the oats to absorb all the flavor.
You can also pre-mix the streusel topping. Mix both the oat ingredients and the streusel ingredients separately. Then the following morning you can top the oats and put it in the oven.
*If you are using minute oats premixing is not necessary the night before.
Pumpkin Oatmeal for Dessert
This recipe is not limited to breakfast! Making this oatmeal for dessert is totally acceptable. Here’s some tips for how to turn this breakfast into dessert…
- For old fashioned oats prep the oatmeal in the morning instead of night.
- Add a bit more butter to the topping.
- Slightly “undercook” the oats. Bake for about 3-5 minutes less for it to be a big more gooey.
- Top with vanilla ice cream!

Storing Pumpkin Oatmeal
Pumpkin cinnamon oatmeal tastes best fresh and warm. If you have a large family or you are making this to share you probably will not need to worry about storage. However, if you do need to store the oatmeal it can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It is best heated in the oven covered with foil. This keeps the topping crunchy. Although if you need it quickly the microwave is an option.
