Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar size.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly distributed.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits at this stage.

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy warm, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
