Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together canned pumpkin puree, almond milk, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined. The mixture should have a consistent orange color and creamy texture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is completely incorporated. The mixture should look like a thick, moist batter.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with additional maple syrup, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Customize Your Flavors: Feel free to experiment with spices! Adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger can elevate the flavor profile even more, giving your baked oatmeal a unique twist.
- Mix and Match Add-ins: Enhance your baked oatmeal by folding in extras like chopped walnuts, pecans, or even dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor.
- Perfectly Cooked: Keep an eye on the baking time—oven temperatures can vary. You want the top to be golden brown and the edges slightly crispy for the best texture.
- Serving Suggestions: For a delightful presentation, serve your baked oatmeal warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of almond yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate the experience.
- Storage Tips: This dish keeps well in the fridge for up to five days. Simply reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick and nutritious breakfast or snack!
