How many people does a baked oatmeal serve?

It depends on how much oats you use and what other additions are in the dish. For this pumpkin pie baked oatmeal, it's quite a rich recipe and comfortably serves 9-10 people.

Can I swap in fresh pumpkin for canned pumpkin?

Yes, but you must first cook and mash the pumpkin. To roast a pumpkin, I recommend removing the stem, cutting it half and scooping out the seeds and membrane (reserve the seeds to roast separately). Then place cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in a 375F oven for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size. The pumpkin is done when a knife inserted into the flesh is met with little resistance. Cool then mash.

How much fresh pureed pumpkin should I use for this recipe?

Use 1 3/4 to 2 cups of fresh pureed pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Whisk together in a medium bowl pumpkin, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and table salt until well combine, ensuring the spices are well incorporated. Add the sweetened condensed milk and eggs and whisk until smooth.
Pour in the rolled oats and switch to a spatula. Stir and fold mixture until well combined. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and bake until the pumpkin baked oatmeal is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve this dish with plain yogurt or whipped cream.
As mentioned in the ingredients, use half a can of sweetened condensed milk if you don't want a sweet breakfast. This recipe is quite sweet, like pumpkin pie, so feel free to cut back on the condensed milk.
To make this recipe, swap in a plant-based sweetened condensed milk like oat or coconut. Also use melted coconut oil or a vegetable oil instead of melted butter. And use two flax or chia eggs instead of regular eggs.
Not a fan of pumpkin pie spice? Try used 3/4 teaspoons each ground cinnamon and ground ginger instead.
