Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 apple (diced)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×9 inch or similarly sized baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, almond milk (or milk of choice), egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, and ground cloves. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Fold in the diced apple pieces gently into the batter.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon. This mixture will be sprinkled on top for a sweet, spiced crust.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the surface.
  6. Bake the Oatmeal: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal rest for about 10 minutes. This helps it firm up for easier serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
