Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or an additional 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (or water)
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin (or mashed sweet potato)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (such as maple syrup, honey, or agave)

Optional Ingredients

  • 12 tbsp nut butter of choice
  • Add-ins such as chocolate chips, crushed walnuts or pecans, shredded coconut, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your oatmeal evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the rolled oats, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Then add the milk, canned pumpkin, sweetener, and optional nut butter. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. For a smoother texture, you can blend all the ingredients instead.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an oven-safe dish lightly with butter or oil. Pour the mixture into the dish. Use a deeper dish if you prefer a gooey center or a wider shallow dish if you want the oatmeal to be fully cooked through.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Once baked, add any extra toppings you like such as nuts, seeds, or extra spices. Serve warm and enjoy a hearty, comforting breakfast.
