- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Making the Baked Oatmeal
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking dish (2 Qt.) by coating inside with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine oats, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and nuts in a large bowl. Stir to mix.
Whisk the wet ingredients (milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg and vanilla extract) together in a medium bowl. Then pour into the larger bowl with dry ingredients.
Mix well.
Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 28-30 minutes. Check to ensure the center is set.
The baked oatmeal will be good in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Tasty Baked Oatmeal Additions
Want to supe up your Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal? Try adding some chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or white) or dried cranberries.
Top each individual serving with maple syrup, a sprinkle of brown sugar, some banana jam, whipped cream or a big dollop of Greek yogurt.
Can I swap another kind of oats?
Rolled oats (aka old fashioned oats) are what the recipe is designed around. I do not suggest you use quick oats as they are likely to break down too much in preparation. Steel cut oats may be a viable alternative to the rolled oats, but liquid measures and bake time would both need to be adjusted up.
