Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

For Greasing

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate chips
  • Nuts
  • Raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with avocado or neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Add wet ingredients: To the same bowl, add the canned pumpkin puree, milk of your choice, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey.
  4. Mix the batter: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until the oatmeal mixture is well combined and smooth.
  5. Prepare to bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula for even baking.
  6. Add toppings: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins over the top evenly for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown, indicating it’s cooked through.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly for a few minutes before cutting into 9 servings and enjoying warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or another natural sweetener of your choice.
  • Use dairy or plant-based milk to make it vegan if using flax eggs instead of regular eggs.
  • To make it spicier, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg along with pumpkin spice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
  • Feel free to add a splash of milk while reheating if the baked oatmeal seems too dry.
