Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the oatmeal evenly.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform mixture.
  3. Add Walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts to the mixture, distributing them evenly for added texture and flavor.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly to prevent sticking, then pour the oatmeal mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly for easy slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap walnuts for pecans or almonds for different nutty flavors.
  • Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree for best texture and taste.
  • This recipe is naturally dairy-free when made with almond milk and can be made vegan if pure maple syrup is used.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • Adding a drizzle of almond butter or a dollop of yogurt can enhance creaminess and protein content.
