Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (regular, lite, or sugar free)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
Toppings (Optional)
- Additional maple syrup
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and baking soda until smooth and well combined.
- Add Oats: Stir in the old fashioned oats, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined to form the oatmeal mixture.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x9-inch pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. The center will be slightly wiggly but will firm up as it cools.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Top with additional maple syrup, chopped pecans, and/or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use old fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats can make it too mushy.
- The center may look slightly undercooked when you remove it, but it will set while cooling.
- Maple syrup and pecans add extra flavor and crunch but can be omitted for a simpler version.
- This baked oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
