Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Mix all of the oatmeal ingredients together (everything except for 1/8 cup of the brown sugar and the warm milk, which is a garnish) in a 1 1/2-quart oven-safe ceramic bowl/casserole bowl (use this size for 3 servings, which is the standard recipe size). Use a 2-quart ceramic bowl/casserole bowl like Corningware for 6 servings (for this, you’ll need to double the recipe, of course).
2. Top with the reserved 1/8 cup brown sugar. Put in the oven for 15-20 minutes and then you’re done! Easy-peasy. Top with a little warm milk if you like.

You could also use a 9×9 dish for the 3 servings or 9×13 for 6 servings. I think the round Corningware heats more evenly (no hot corners) and that is why I used that piece of cookware.

Note: you can use 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice to replace the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.
