Thanksgiving PB and J Oatmeal (with Pecan Butter and Cranberry Sauce)
You may have thought that I had already used every possible PB&J combo. Well, you were wrong. I got fancy.
What is Thanksgiving PB&J? Thanksgiving PB&J uses pecan butter instead of peanut butter. Thanksgiving PB&J uses cranberry sauce instead of grape/strawberry jelly. Thanksgiving PB&J will blow yo’ mindz.

Pumpkin, Apple, and Cranberry Oatmeal
Pumpkin. How can I make more pumpkin recipes? What else can be done with pumpkin? These are the questions I ask myself twice a day.What spices and herbs go well with pumpkin? What fruits pair well with pumpkin? What different forms of oatmeal have I not tried with pumpkin?!
The result of this never-ending search is today’s recipe. Seeing how well apples paired with sweet potatoes, I knew they’d be smashing with pumpkin. Of course, cranberries are my go-to dried fruit for autumn recipes, so I threw those in as well. Aaaand bam, cue the world’s coziest breakfast.

Oatmeal Recipes for Autumn Lovers
I can take a hint. When I asked for what ingredients you’d like to see more of in my recipes, the resounding opinion was simply everything autumn. I couldn’t agree more, which is why I’ve been pumping out all sorts of hearty, autumn goodness. Summer food is delicious, but when the temperature starts dropping slightly and everyone breaks out their best pair of boots, delving into a bowl of cozy porridge is truly perfection. This is the time of year when the “seasonal porridge lovers” join us crazies who eat it year-round. For once, everyone’s in agreement, and we can all share our love of hot, creamy, pumpkin-themed oatmeal. 🙂
Here are my favorite and/or most popular autumn-themed oatmeal recipes. Plus, since everyone lurrrrves my autumn recipes, I capped myself off at ten recipes instead of five. (And yes, there will be pumpkin.)
I didn’t know what to expect the first time I put sweet potato
in oatmeal, but this was my first experiment, and I’d say it turned out
pretty swell!

The stove-top version is pretty stellar, too, but there is something
about this baked style that really nails the comforting experience of eating
a slice of my grandma’s apple pie.

My pumpkin pie recipes are a reader-favorite. If steel-cut isn’t your
thing, try the baked, overnight, or stove-top version.
Because some days are pancake days.
The first time I made this, I almost died. My taste buds
could barely handle the incredible blend of flavors. I would
recommend this to even the strongest hater of oatmeal.

I refuse to drink any sugary Starbucks or Dunkin’ version of this concoction,
but I’ll certainly enjoy the healthy oatmeal version!

Apples and sweet potatoes both blend well with the same earthy spices,
so why not combine them?

This baked bowl of glory may not be explicitly fall, but what is more
cozy and comforting than a baked oatmeal WITH PEANUT BUTTER?
Y’all know I had to get peanut butter in here somehow.

I highly, highly, highly recommend using homemade applesauce! It
doesn’t have to be a complicated process; I made mine in the microwave
in under five minutes!

Pepitas. Raisins. Apples. Pecans. Cranberries. Y’know, all those fall-ish things.

Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oatmeal
For over a year, I had to stomach the fact that my Salted Brownie Baked Oatmeal was my #1 most viewed recipe. I mean, that recipe was fine and dandy, but number one?? C’mon. Not even close. I could name thirty recipes that I’d pick over that one.Luckily for me, the most wonderful thing happened about a month ago. As always, August and September ushered in the yearly pumpkin craze, and my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal received a great deal of love on Pinterest. Out of nowhere, this recipe vaulted into the #1 spot and surpassed the Salted Brownie by thousands of views. COOL. I feel like my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal is a much better representative of my blog than the Salted Brownie.
I love my pumpkin pie recipes. Certainly, they’re not my MOST favorite, but they’re in my Top Ten. You might think that I’d be satisfied with a stove-top, baked, and overnight version, but no, I’m not finished. Now that I’ve fallen in love with steel-cut oats, it just made sense to add another variation to my pumpkin pie family.

Berry Chocolate Crunch Oatmeal
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, taste buds!
For I ne’er tasted true beauty till this week.
Sweetest pepitas…
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To EAT YOU.
I know I’m being incredibly overdramatic, but my confession must capture the scale of my new infatuation. This past weekend (thanks to my mother’s birthday present), I tried pepitas for the first time. I’ve had “roasted pumpkin seeds” before, but they were nothing like “pepitas.” You would think they would be equally wonderful (considering pepitas are pumpkin seeds), but there is definitely a difference, the first being that pepitas are as glorious to this night as is a winged messenger of heaven, and “roasted pumpkin seeds” are just a big pile of “meh.”

Eggnog Oatmeal
Sadly, my family was never an eggnog family. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I asked my mom what it was, so she bought me a carton of the store-bought variety so I could try it. I’ll admit now that most of it ended up being poured down the sink two weeks later (i.e. I was unimpressed). I’ve never had homemade eggnog, but it’s never been high on my priority list for foods to try, either.
Now that I avoid dairy, I have even less desire to try the real stuff. However, I was exceptionally curious to try the dairy-free varieties after reading some reviews. I saw the rice ‘nog appear in Whole Foods even before Thanksgiving, but it wasn’t until a week ago that I finally captured the coconut ‘nog! As soon as I spotted it on an obscure refrigerated shelf in the corner of the store, I snatched a jug up in less time than it takes for my roommate to complain whenever we play Christmas music. 😉

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oatmeal
My Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal was a hit. The Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal was also a hit. (Confession: despite the fact that the stove-top version has more views, I highly prefer the baked version!) So why not give the people what they want?
Now you can enjoy silky pumpkin pie that practically prepared itself overnight. You’re welcome. 🙂
Funny story: the second time I made this, I accidentally dumped in a spoonful of TACO SEASONING instead of pie spices. Ugh.

Sweet Potato Oatmeal Muffins
What do you do when a hurricane pummels your town and cancels school for four days? Bake. Bake all afternoon. Bake multiple batches of muffins and have your roommates taste-test for you.
Here’s the result for you! These muffins are perfect for a healthy breakfast. They’re sweet enough to be delicious and satisfying, but not overly sweet like traditional muffins. They are also free of refined sugars and flours. You’re welcome!

Variations on Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
It’s mid-October, and pumpkin recipes are everywhere. If you’re the type of person that loves this, then read ahead with glee! If you were beyond sick of the pumpkin posts on TasteSpotting and Food Gawker way back on September 1, then I apologize. Another (non-pumpkin-themed) post will be up on Saturday! 🙂
Here is a list of possible variations for my basic baked pumpkin oatmeal:

Coconut Pumpkin Swirl Baked Oatmeal
I apologize for the freakishly long name of this oatmeal. I normally try to avoid lengthy titles like that, but I couldn’t resist. This is what this oatmeal had to be named.
This oatmeal was inspired by a wonderful experience at Amazing Thailand in Minneapolis, MN. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines, despite the fact that I only discovered it recently! At this particular restaurant, I ordered pineapple fried rice, but my friend ordered pumpkin-coconut curry. I was shocked at how delicious the combination was, and I’ve wanted to try it in oatmeal ever since.
