Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Topping
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch or similar baking dish with cooking spray to ensure the oatmeal doesn’t stick.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Apple: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, ground cloves, and diced apple until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer and Add Topping: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top for a sweet, spiced crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden brown and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to rest for 10 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally drizzled with extra maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
Notes
- Use gluten-free rolled oats if you require a gluten-free option.
- The apple adds natural sweetness and moisture; you can substitute with pears if desired.
- Letting the oatmeal rest after baking helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
- This baked oatmeal stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or chia egg and use a plant-based milk.
