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 (almond milk works great 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

Additional

  • Avocado oil or neutral oil (for greasing)
  • Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, or topping of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with avocado oil or a neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixes: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins at this stage.
  5. Transfer and bake: Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This oatmeal is delicious warm and can be topped with additional nuts, fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the recipe is safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • To make the recipe egg-free, substitute each egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, mixed and rested for 5 minutes).
  • This baked oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated gently.
  • Customize your toppings to suit your taste—try pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, or coconut flakes for extra texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, almond milk or other plant-based milks work excellent.
