Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal

As a planner, I'm always thinking ahead. Far ahead. I've already started looking at my options for Thanksgiving, my absolute favorite holiday. My roommate offered to let me spend it with her and her family. My very first question was, "Will there be pumpkin pie?"

I don't ask much from my Thanksgiving meals. All I request is pumpkin pie...and at least one green vegetable. :)

Okay, so yes, I'm aware that this recipe calls for an entire tablespoon of maple syrup. You can try using less, but I truly did not enjoy it the first time I made it with just one teaspoon (and I don't have a sweet tooth!). Pumpkin is not sweet, so you really do need something to sweeten this oatmeal. You could experiment with dates, if you're adamant against using that much sweetener.
