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 Dish: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Lightly spray a 9×9-inch or similar-sized baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, unsweetened almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Fruit: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, ground cloves, and the diced apple. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble and Add Topping: Pour the combined oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the oatmeal batter.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden on top and set in the center.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal rest for 10 minutes to firm up. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and sweetness.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or any plant-based milk substitute.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • To add more protein, consider stirring in a scoop of protein powder or topping with nuts.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or the cinnamon sugar topping according to your preference.
