This Coconut Caramel Pumpkin Oatmeal Skillet Cookie is one of those recipe ideas that once it was in my head, I obsessed about it until I could test it to see if it would work.  It’s actually a variation of my Cherry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Skillet Cookie which I haven’t made in far too long.  For some reason, I’ve been about pumpkin-ing all the things this fall – like this German Upside Down Pumpkin Pie and Black Bottom No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake – but I can’t say anyone has complained!

We’ve enjoyed this Coconut Caramel Pumpkin Oatmeal Skillet Cookie twice in the last week.  You know, for the sake of recipe testing and all.  Wink, wink.  Sure, my husband gave me a hard time because I included so many ingredients in the title, but I wanted you to know exactly what you were getting into with this dessert.  Pure deliciousness, that’s what.  And the fact that it’s all stirred together in the pan that you bake it in?  Well, that’s pretty darn genius as well.  Less washing dishes, more enjoying dessert.  That’s really how life should be.

Because this dessert is so easy, that means that while your husband is manning bath time, you can easily have this mixed and in the oven before being called upstairs to referee any of the end of day arguments that no doubt will occur when four children are attempting to get ready for bed.  And then after everyone is tucked in, you and said husband can enjoy this Coconut Caramel Pumpkin Oatmeal Skillet Cookie in peace and quiet.  You know, hypothetically speaking.  If your house is anything like mine.
