Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan option)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until the spices and leavening are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs (or flax eggs), maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but moist.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture—they hold up well during baking.
- Do not overbake; start checking at 35 minutes to keep the oatmeal moist.
- Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape.
- Toast spices lightly before adding to deepen their flavor and aroma.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
