Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly to ensure the oatmeal doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, almond milk, and maple syrup until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat all the oats evenly and create a uniform batter.
  5. Pour Into Baking Dish: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is set, golden edges appear, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about five minutes to set further and make serving easier.
  8. Serve: Cut the baked oatmeal into squares and enjoy warm. You can optionally top with additional almond milk, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy or other plant-based options.
  • If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, increase maple syrup to 1/3 cup or adjust according to taste.
  • For added texture, mix in 1/4 cup chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat before serving.
  • This recipe is easily doubled and baked in a 9×13 inch dish for a larger batch.
