Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (use certified gluten free if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk of choice (works great with almond milk if dairy-free needed)
  • 2 large eggs (can substitute flax eggs to make egg-free)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey

For Baking

  • Avocado oil or neutral oil (for greasing)

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate chips
  • Nuts
  • Raisins
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with avocado oil or a neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the canned pumpkin puree, milk of your choice, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Stir thoroughly until fully combined into a uniform batter.
  4. Pour and bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle on chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins for added texture and flavor. Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges have puffed up, the center is set, and the top is nicely golden brown.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. The texture will be soft initially but will firm up as it cools. Slice and serve warm, optionally topping with yogurt, a splash of milk, extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
  6. Storage: Allow any leftovers to cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
