1/2 tsp salt $0.03

1.5 cups milk $0.56

2.5 cups dry old-fashioned oats $0.43

I substituted Steel Cut oats (for the health benefit) and it added over 1 1/2 hours of cooking time! 

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Whisk in the milk (and yogurt if using).

STEP 2: Mix the dry oats into the pumpkin mixture. Coat an 8x8 (or similar sized) baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour in the pumpkin oat mixture. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, removing the foil after the first 30 minutes.

STEP 3: Serve hot right out of the oven or refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be eaten cold or reheated. Top with milk, maple syrup, whipped cream, or nuts.

It is YUMMY!



The kids still prefer the original Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries and Flaxseed recipe (Click here for the recipe!)  the best!

I found this recipe at a SUPER great website called Budget Bytes!
