Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 ½ cups Milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
- 1 large Egg
- 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional)
- ¼ cup Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. In a separate bowl, stir the dry ingredients together: rolled oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle your chopped nuts or chocolate chips over the top if you are using them. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly springy to the touch.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period allows the oats to set properly. Slice into six generous squares. Serve warm in a bowl with a splash of milk, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup. If you are meal prepping, let the squares cool completely before storing them in airtight containers.
