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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and baking soda until smooth and combined.
- Add Oats: Stir in the old fashioned oats until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Bake the Oatmeal: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. The center may still be slightly wiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Top with additional maple syrup, chopped pecans, or whipped cream as desired for extra flavor and texture.
