Description
This delicious pumpkin oatmeal bake combines rolled oats, spices, and pumpkin puree for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 14 ounces pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or shredded unsweetened coconut (or additional oats)
- Chocolate chips (to top; optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Optionally, you can briefly pulse the oats in a blender or food processor before starting the recipe to make them a slightly finer texture. This results in a baked oatmeal with oats that are less visible and slices that hold together a little more easily.
- Stir all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Place pan onto a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg.
- This recipe can be customized by adding your favorite nuts or dried fruits.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
