Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) milk (whole, oat, or almond)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Butter or coconut oil for greasing
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, pepitas, extra maple syrup, Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Night before: Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to distribute spices evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly, then add pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour mixture into greased baking dish and spread evenly. Tap dish gently on counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, up to 24 hours.
  7. Morning: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove dish from fridge while oven preheats.
  8. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes, until top is golden brown and center is set but slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted in center should come out mostly clean.
  9. If top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for last 5-10 minutes.
  10. Let baked oats cool for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and add desired toppings. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t skip the overnight soak—it creates the creamy texture. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. If using a metal pan, start checking at 25 minutes. For a dairy-free version, use almond, oat, or coconut milk and coconut oil. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free rolled oats. For egg-free, replace each egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 minutes).
