Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 15-ounce package pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 2 pastured eggs or 2 flax eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts
- Raisins
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs (or flax eggs), non-dairy milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Optionally, fold in chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for several minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a splash of milk or your favorite yogurt if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the non-dairy milk with any milk of choice, such as dairy or almond milk.
- For a vegan version, use flax eggs and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Add toppings like chopped nuts, raisins, or seeds before baking for extra flavor and crunch.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and reheat with a little milk.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if you have gluten sensitivities or allergies.
