Inspired by my favorite casserole, this sweet potato baked oatmeal is loaded with sweet potato goodness and topped with a crispy pecan topping.
This month’s baked oatmeal flavor is inspired by my absolute favorite Thanksgiving dish – classic sweet potato casserole.
How to Make Sweet Potato Baked Oatmeal
Preheat Oven – Start by preheating your oven to 375ºF and spraying an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix Ingredients – Next, mix together your oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Once combined, add your milk, sweet potato, maple syrup, flaxseed (or egg), coconut oil and vanilla into the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Pour – Carefully pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish, set aside.
Prep topping – In a separate bowl mix together topping ingredients and then and sprinkle with the oatmeal mixture.
Bake – Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
How to Store Baked Oatmeal
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat the whole baked oatmeal, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set your toaster oven to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.

I love this recipe! I’m counting calories and watching sugar intake so instead of sweet potatoes I use butternut squash and I just recently switched the brown sugar to Swerve brown sugar that doesn’t affect blood sugar levels. I eat it every single day and love it! Thank you! Soooo good!

Sweet potato casserole is one of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving and with Thanksgiving being cancelled this past year I had a sweet potato casserole-sized hole in my heart. This dish was the perfect solution to satisfy my craving. It was so moist and delicious and reheats so well for work breakfasts.

This was so yummy! It tasted like the best of Thanksgiving. I had leftover sweet potatoes and knew you’d have a great recipe I could use them in. Next time I think I’ll top with sliced bananas and maybe a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips!
