Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit optional

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or spoon for mixing
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Baking dish (9x9 inch or similar)
  • Spatula for spreading the mixture
  • Oven mitts for handling hot dishes
  • Storage container for leftovers

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the oatmeal bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Step 2: Lightly grease your baking dish with non-stick spray or a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly mixed. If you’re adding nuts or dried fruit, fold them in gently at this stage.
  6. Step 6: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  7. Step 7: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  8. Step 8: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt.
