Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or a round 8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a high-powered blender, combine rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined, with no visible whole oats.
- Pour the blended mixture directly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
- Optional: If desired, sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top of the mixture for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The oats are done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The baked oats will continue to set as they cool.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, chopped nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Tips
- Blending is Key: Use a high-powered blender to ensure a completely smooth texture without any lumpy oats.
- Customize Your Toppings: While delicious on its own, experiment with toppings like chopped pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to add extra flavor and texture.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This recipe can be prepared the night before and refrigerated, then baked in the morning for a quick and convenient breakfast.
- Storage Hack: These baked oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Temperature Matters: Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set properly, ensuring the perfect consistency.
