Heat up the oven: Turn on your oven and set it to 180°C (350°F).
Grease the Baking Dish: Lightly coat the baking dish with olive oil to avoid food sticking to it. This helps to easily remove the baked oatmeal once it is finished.
Step 6: Put in the oven.
Move the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish that has been prepared, spreading it evenly.
Include pumpkin seeds: Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top to add crunchiness and nutrients.
Cook the dish in the oven that has been heated beforehand for 20 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the oatmeal is firm.
Step 7: Serve the dish.
Cool and Serve: After baking, let the oatmeal dish cool for a few minutes. Serve the dish warm. You can add coconut and more pumpkin seeds for extra decoration if you like.
Tips for Cooking
Personalization: You can modify this recipe by adding your preferred nuts, seeds, or dried fruits. Pecans, almonds, and cranberries can also be a great option.
Sweetness Adjustment: Modify the level of sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of raisins.
Pumpkin Puree: If you don’t have much time, you can use canned pumpkin puree instead of fresh pumpkin. Reduce the time for baking a little because the puree is already cooked.
Tips for storing items.
Refrigeration tip: Keep any extra food in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Warm up in the microwave or oven before serving.
Freezing: This oatmeal dish can be frozen successfully. Divide it into pieces, wrap them well in plastic wrap, or keep them in containers that can be frozen. You can heat it up straight from the freezer in the oven or microwave.
