There’s something so comforting about a big bowl of baked oatmeal on a crisp fall morning. Oats are hearty, filling, and give you that cozy, warm feeling right from the first bite.


This Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal with Pecans & Chocolate Chips takes those simple oats and turns them into a sweet, spiced breakfast that feels like dessert but still keeps you full and fueled. With chocolate chips, pecans, and a touch of maple syrup, it’s the ultimate easy, all-in-one breakfast for busy mornings.

I harvested so many pumpkins from my garden this year, I honestly didn’t know what to do with them all! My kitchen is basically full of fall vibes right now.


There’s just something so satisfying about taking a pumpkin straight from the garden and turning it into something delicious, whether it’s baked oatmeal, pumpkin pudding, roasted seeds, or a simple pumpkin pie. I love that homegrown pumpkins can show up in so many ways and make everyday meals feel extra cozy.


This harvest has me feeling grateful, inspired, and ready to eat all the pumpkin things.
