Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (regular, lite, or sugar free)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
Optional Toppings
- Additional maple syrup
- Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and baking soda until smooth and fully combined.
- Add oats: Stir the old fashioned oats into the wet mixture thoroughly, ensuring all oats are coated and combined evenly.
- Bake the oatmeal: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. The center may still be slightly wiggly but will set as it cools.
- Serve: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly, then serve warm or cold with optional toppings such as additional maple syrup, chopped pecans, or whipped cream.
