Servings: 6
Equipment
- 8-inch Baking Dish (my favorite for baked oatmeal)
Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts chopped and divided
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add in the milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, flaxseed, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir well to combine and gently add in 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts.
- Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the remaining pecans/walnuts across the top.

Notes
- Rolled oats: Rolled oats work best for baked oatmeal and I don’t recommend swapping them for quick oats or steel-cut oats. If you’re looking for a baked oatmeal recipe that’s made with steel-cut oats I suggest checking out this baked steel cut oatmeal recipe instead. You can easily customize this recipe and swap the banana with pumpkin instead.
- Ground flaxseed: If you don’t have flaxseed on hand, chia seeds can serve as an alternative binding agent or you can use 1 egg if you don’t need this recipe to be vegan.
- Storage: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
