Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

A deliciously spiced, wholesome breakfast that encapsulates the essence of fall, perfect for busy weekdays or leisurely weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Avocado oil or neutral oil (for greasing)
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, or topping of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃) and grease an 8×8 baking dish using your preferred oil.
  2. Mix the rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
  3. Stir in the canned pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup (or honey). Mix everything well until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture out evenly in your prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are puffed, the center is set, and the top turns golden-brown.
  6. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing it into squares.
  7. Serve warm topped with yogurt, milk, honey, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Use fresh pumpkin puree for a bolder flavor, but canned works great, too. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup.
