Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup vanilla almond milk
  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup apples, chopped (gala recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray to ensure the baked oatmeal doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Spices: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, maple syrup, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. Add Almond Milk: Pour in the vanilla almond milk and whisk the mixture thoroughly to integrate all ingredients smoothly.
  4. Combine Oats and Apples: Add the old-fashioned oats and chopped apples to the bowl, reserving some chopped apples for the topping. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the reserved diced apples on top for added texture and flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the oats are fully cooked and set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving warm.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats may result in a mushier consistency.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Feel free to use other apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith depending on desired sweetness and tartness.
  • This oatmeal can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle nuts or seeds on top before baking.
