Ingredients

Scale

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

  • 1 apple, diced

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden brown and set in the center.
  6. 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.
