This cozy pumpkin pie spice baked oatmeal bake is a hands-off, one-bowl breakfast that tastes like fall in a bowl. It’s creamy in the middle, crispy on the edges, and perfect for meal prep or a holiday morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter or coconut oil, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  5. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. If using, sprinkle optional mix-ins (pecans, chocolate chips, brown sugar) on top and press them in gently.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the oatmeal cool in the dish for 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm, with a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt if desired.

Notes

Let the oats soak for 5 minutes before baking for the best texture. Use room temperature eggs to prevent coconut oil from seizing. Check for doneness at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the oatmeal to set. For a dairy-free version, use oat milk and coconut oil. For an egg-free version, use two flax eggs.
