Ingredients

2 ¾ cups old fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup milk of choice
2 large eggs
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
¼ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans, toasted, plus extra for topping (omit for a nut-free version)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Add the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle additional toasted pecans over the top if desired.
Bake for 30–34 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with yogurt or whipped topping, a drizzle of maple syrup, and an extra pinch of pumpkin pie spice if you like.

Notes

Egg-Free Option

Replace the eggs by combining 2 tablespoons ground flax meal with 3 tablespoons water. Stir well and let the mixture rest for 5–10 minutes until thickened before adding it to the batter.

How to Toast Pecans

Place the pecans in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Stir frequently for 5–7 minutes, or until they become fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove from the pan immediately and let them cool before adding them to the recipe.
