Looking for a pumpkin pie oatmeal remix?
The first time I made this oatmeal I actually made chocolate pumpkin pie baked oatmeal. All you have to do to chocolate-ify your oatmeal is add 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the recipe. You’ll end up with a rich chocolate and pumpkin combo that lands somewhere between breakfast and dessert.
If you don’t already have enough pumpkin recipes in your life, why not try out these Vegan Pumpkin Muffins, or make a savory dinner of Vegan Pumpkin Pasta with Pumpkin Bean Balls. My personal favorite is this vegan pumpkin pudding!
Pumpkin baked oatmeal is made with pumpkin spices and baked until soft and lightly fluffy.
- 2 and 1/2 cups rolled oats (also called "old fashioned oats")
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11 x 7 or similarly sized baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix together the pumpkin puree and milk in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the ingredients into the greased baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal pulls away from the edges of the baking dish. Test the oatmeal with a knife the knife should come out mostly clean.
Enjoy topped with additional cinnamon, mini chocolate chips, and a splash of milk.
