Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal

Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal made with sweet potato, pumpkin pie spice, and candied pecans. Perfect for a fall meal prep breakfast!

Last week I signed up for a 10K run on Thanksgiving Day!

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that I’ve been a runner for over a decade now.

I come and go with the sport, inspired by the seasons and the weather and what races I have on the calendar. 

My longest run was a full marathon I did back in 2022, but these days I’m more of a short distance girlie. 

When I lace up my runners and hit the pavement now, 3 miles feels tough; forget about 26.2! 

But if you know me you know I’m a goal oriented person, and I love having something to work towards and train towards. 

I’m in a season of life where dog training is keeping me busy, but making time for personal goals hits differently. 

So I hit the “purchase” button when I was all fired up about running and excited to enjoy the fall weather. 

Now, I’m feeling slightly sick knowing that this run (and Thanksgiving!) is a short few weeks away. 

If there’s one thing I am good at, though, it’s sticking to a training schedule. 

Well, and making new variations of baked oats to enjoy. 

I’m counting on these Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal to keep me fueled this fall as I get back on track with running again! 

This dish is made with mashed sweet potato, pumpkin pie spice, and candied pecans.

It’s the perfect energizing fall meal prep breakfast to support your lifestyle with complex carbs, protein, and healthy fats. 

And, it would be a fabulous Thanksgiving breakfast for the whole family!

What You Need to Make Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal

Here’s what you need to make Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal:

• Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats 
• baking powder
• pumpkin pie spice
• ground cinnamon
• unsweetened almond milk
• baked sweet potato
• unsweetened apple sauce
• ground flaxseed
• pure maple syrup 
• chopped walnuts or pecans

Toppings:

• halved pecans
• pure maple syrup

That’s it!

How to Make Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal

These baked oats are easy to make with items from your fridge and pantry! 

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 9×9 square baking dish.

Add the oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, almond milk, smashed sweet potato, apple sauce, flaxseed and water, and maple syrup to a large mixing bowl and stir everything well to combine. 

Fold in the walnuts or pecans and mix everything again to roughly combine. 

Spread the mixture into an even layer in the baking dish.

How to Make Sweet Potato Baked Oatmeal Topping

You don’t *need* a topping for these baked oats, but it definitely gives the recipe more of a sweet-potato-casserole-feeling.

Mix the pecans and maple syrup together in a bowl and scatter on top of the oatmeal. 

You can press them gently into the baked oats with a spoon or fork so they are flush with the top. 

Bake the dish for ~45 minutes, until the top is nice and golden brown.

Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Brand Notes

I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats to create this recipe.

These oats are certified organic and gluten-free, which is why my pantry is always stuffed with them! 

I recently did a pantry clean out (it was much needed!) and restocked my Bob’s oats in neat symmetrical lines.

Nothing brings me more joy than an organized pantry; except making an oat restock! 

Notes on Meal Prep

This Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal is designed for meal prep! 

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week and reheat before serving.

You can pre-slice the baked oats if you need a grab-and-go option, or just slice as you go. 

If you want, you can also store slices of these baked oats in the freezer for several months. 

How to Serve Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal

Enjoy this Sweet Potato Pie Baked Oatmeal as a delicious pre-baked breakfast. 

You can enjoy it chilled straight from the refrigerator but my favorite way is to reheat it in the microwave. 

I love serving mine with a dollop of almond milk yogurt and a spoonful of granola, but it’s also delicious by itself!

Add a drizzle of nut butter for more decadence. 

The recipe serves 4-6, depending on how big your slices are. 

Enjoy!
