This Clean Eating Pumpkin Oatmeal Casserole is destined to become a family favorite. Start your holiday mornings off right with a big bowl of oats, pumpkin, cranberries and so much more!

This recipe was originally intended for my Clean For The Holidays cookbook (not yet published). But I love this so much, I just had to share it with you here.

It’s the perfect casserole breakfast for a holiday morning. I love making this on Thanksgiving morning when I have to feed everyone AND be in the kitchen all day. It’s quick, easy, and everyone asks for seconds. Whole grain goodness AND everyone loves it? Oh yes please. I need more of these in my life.

And yes, you can prep this the night before and store it in the fridge. Just add everything except the oats. You can stir those in last minute before putting it in the oven.

Happy holidays!

  2. Hi Tiffany,

    The recipe sounds wonderful! I have a question on the steel cut oats….are you putting them in dry, soaked, or cooked? I always soak my grains, nuts, and seeds to help break down the phytic acid.

    Thanks,
    Deb Casey

  6. 14murphy – I don’t recommend it. The oats would soak up a lot of the liquid and I’m not sure they would bake very well at that point. You could certainly mix everything else together, put in the fridge overnight and then stir in the oats last minute before baking in the morning though.

  11. Tracy – I could be wrong, but I believe that all pumpkins are edible. The difference in them comes down to the flavor. Some are far better than others. I have used a cinderella pumpkin to make soup with and the big orange ones are usually just fine, though not as sweet as the sugar pie pumpkins (the smaller ones intended for baking). I’m not sure about the whites ones though as I’ve never tried to make anything with them. Hope that helps.

  14. Toby – Fantastic! You could probably mix everything except putting the oatmeal in. Do that at the last minute before baking. Hope you enjoy it!

  16. Tricia – Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time. Steel cut oats take longer to cook/bake. So keep an eye on it.

  18. Lindsey – No. The cooking time will be shorter. Steel cut oats take the longest to cook which is why I used them. So you’ll need to keep an eye on it. Enjoy!

  19. Robin – You can use it, but it will have a shorter cooking time. I used the steel cut oats specifically because of their longer cooking time. So you’ll have to play around with this to get it to work out correctly. Sorry, wish I could be more help here.

  20. Was to ill for Going out to our planned thanksgiving event. Made this prior to getting put in the bed rest mode and it was a wonderful meal for thanksgiving, have enought energy to do it for the next meal however I have a pineapple that is needing to be used so going to sub that for the pumkin and add fresh bluberries from the freezer plus the rest of the stuff.

  28. Rschoen68, I make this every weekend to eat all week long and I am looking for some adaptations. I love the idea of applesauce instead of pumpkin, although I like the vitamins I get from the pumpkin, this will give me another option. Also, did you use frozen blueberries and pineapple, canned pineapple or fresh? I have to be careful about sugar amounts but I think I could do that much pineapple.

  29. This is in the oven right now and smells amazing!! I halved the recipe (since I’m the only one that will be eating it) left out the honey (no sugar challenge early) and used dried cranberries and left out the rainsins! I’m so excited to try it tomorrow morning! Then I plan in freezing some for later! Who knows, maybe the kids will try it (they are 2+4, so they aren’t too big in the look of oatmeal) and end up liking it!

  30. Anita – I’m glad you enjoyed it! But be careful with agave. Evidence seems to be pointing to the fact that is is not clean. (so sad!)

  31. I made this, this morning. We all loved it! I’m looking forward to seeing if it holds up well in the fridge for leftovers tomorrow morning. Feels great to feed my kids such a healthy breakfast 🙂

    • Probably. You’ll have to judge that by keeping an eye on it and poking at it occasionally. You’ll know when it’s done and ready.

  36. Made this for Thanksgiving breakfast with my family!  Big hit!  I did not think it was going to be sweet enough with the fresh cranberries but it was perfect!

  37. Just made this, with a few alterations, and both myself and my husband liked it a lot! Found recipe via Pinterest. For the fruit I used 1 cup of frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup of golden raisins, and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries (I did not have fresh). I also used walnut pieces instead of pecan pieces. I did not have steel cut oats so instead used quick cooking oats, so of course did not take as long to bake (took maybe 35 mins and started to get a little too brown towards the end so just turned heat down to 350 degrees for last 10 mins). Will definitely make again.

    • MarlaRae – It could, I haven’t tried it. But as long as the oats are steel cut oats, it should be fine in theory. Let me know how it goes!
