Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or additional cinnamon)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy) or water
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin (or mashed sweet potato)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, or sugar)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1–2 tbsp nut butter of choice (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)
  • Chocolate chips, crushed walnuts, pecans, shredded coconut, or other toppings as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is fully heated when you’re ready to bake the oatmeal.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the rolled oats, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Then add the milk, canned pumpkin, sweetener, and nut butter if using. Mix until fully combined. For a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture in a blender.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an oven-safe baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the dish. Use a deeper dish if you want the oatmeal gooey inside, or a wider, shallow dish if you prefer it fully cooked through.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the oatmeal is set and cooked through.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Remove from the oven, add any desired toppings like nuts or chocolate chips, and serve warm. Enjoy your nutritious pumpkin baked oatmeal!

Notes

  • The oats absorb liquid as they bake, so choose your milk or water accordingly to get your preferred texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, increase the sweetener to taste.
  • Feel free to substitute canned pumpkin with mashed sweet potato for a similar taste and texture.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed more people or for meal prepping.
  • For vegan option, use plant-based milk and maple syrup as a sweetener.
  • You can prepare the mixture the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
