Since oatmeal seems like a pretty popular topic among frugal people everywhere, I thought this delicious looking recipe from Cooking with My Kid was not to be overlooked. With this recipe, you basically bake your own oatmeal right inside of a cantaloupe-sized pumpkin. The results look amazing!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• 2 sugar pumpkins (cantaloupe size)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
