Pumpkin Baked Oats
This is a recipe for baked oats with pumpkin and spices. It’s a good breakfast to make ahead, as it firms up in the fridge.
Ingredients (~4 servings)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 6 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chunks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar (for topping)
Make the Batter
Set your oven to 350F. Lightly grease a small baking dish (an 8-inch round dish or a standard 9×5 loaf pan works well).
First, make the flax egg. In a small bowl, whisk the ground flaxseed with the water. Let it sit for ~5 minutes to thicken into a gel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, Kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the thickened flax egg, pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet pumpkin mixture to the dry oat mixture and whisk until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Bake the Oats
Pour the oat mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the top with the brown sugar and a little more pumpkin pie spice.
Bake for ~40-45 minutes. The oats are done when the center is set.
Let the baked oats cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
