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
Optional Toppings
- Additional maple syrup
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set 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 pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and baking soda until smooth and well combined.
- Add oats: Stir in the old fashioned oats until the mixture is evenly combined, making sure all oats are coated with the wet ingredients.
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 35 minutes; the center will be slightly wiggly but will firm up as it cools.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Top with additional maple syrup, chopped pecans, or whipped cream as desired for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- This baked oatmeal is nutritious and filling, perfect for a wholesome breakfast that keeps you energized throughout the morning.
- For added texture and flavor, top with chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup just before serving.
- You can use regular, lite, or sugar-free maple syrup based on your dietary preferences or needs.
- Ensure not to overbake; the center should remain a bit soft when you take it out to ensure moistness.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat portions as needed for a quick breakfast or snack.
