Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

I came across this recipe on budgetbytes.blogspot.com. Here's the original recipe, I'll show my tweaks as well.

15 oz can pumpkin puree (not the pumpkin pie filling, the pure pumpkin)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I'm going to double this next time as I didn't think the spice flavor came through much)
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I'm a vanilla fan and used a generous splash)
1 1/2 cup milk (I used skim milk)
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder until smooth. Whisk in the milk, then stir in the dry oats. Coat an 8x8 or 9x11 baking dish with Pam non-stick spray. Pour in the pumpkin oat mixture and cover with foil. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.

Serve hot or cold, can microwave the leftovers. Serving sugestions are to add milk, maple syrup, whipped cream, or nuts. I liked it plain but warm, my kids liked it best warm with syrup. I thought about adding a few chocolate chips next time as we like pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

You can substitute plain yogurt for 1/2 cup of the milk but it will probably take a little longer to bake.
