Ingredients

For the wet ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 ¼ cup (300g) milk of choice
⅓ cup (51g) coconut sugar (or sub brown sugar)
¼ cup (78g) pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the dry ingredients:
2 ½ cups (238g) old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional mix-ins:
Optional, but recommended: ½ cup (56g) chopped pecans
Optional cream cheese glaze:
2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 teaspoons milk of choice, to thin glaze

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 inch pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, milk of choice, coconut sugar, pure maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients: oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined, then fold in chopped pecans, if using.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake for 35-45 mins or until the edges are slightly golden brown and the middle is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes while you make the optional cream cheese glaze, if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the baked oatmeal and top with additional chopped pecans, if desired. Cut into slices and enjoy! Serves 6-8.

Notes

To make into baked oatmeal muffins: divide the batter into a prepared muffin tin lined with muffin liners and bake for 20-25 minutes until the oatmeal muffins are set. You should get 10-12 oatmeal muffins.

Feel free to skip the cream cheese glaze: I love this served warm with peanut or almond butter spread on top, plus a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt. SO GOOD! It’s also wonderful served in a bowl with a little milk. OMG!

Make it indulgent: feel free to throw in ½ cup chocolate chips before baking. Pumpkin + chocolate chips = match made in heaven.
