Ingredients

For the Base

2 cups Rolled Oats Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree Choose a thicker brand like Libby's.
1 cup Milk of Choice Almond milk works wonderfully for a dairy-free option.
2 Large Eggs For an egg-free alternative, use flax eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tbsp water).
Avocado Oil Ideal for greasing the baking dish; can substitute with any neutral oil.

For the Flavor

2 tsp Pumpkin Spice Can substitute with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if desired.
2 tsp Vanilla Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.

For the Sweetness

1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Honey Feel free to reduce the amount for a less sweet bite.
1/4 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavor; don't skip this.
1 tsp Baking Powder Make sure it’s fresh for optimal results.

Optional Toppings

Chocolate Chips, Nuts, or Raisins Customize your dish with your favorite toppings.

Method

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8 baking dish with avocado oil or any neutral oil.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt.
Add the canned pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the oat mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into the pre-greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until puffed and golden; a toothpick should come out clean.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
Slice and serve warm, optionally topped with chocolate chips, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
