What pumpkin does in this pumpkin baked oats recipe?
Pumpkin serves as a moistening agent, a flavoring agent and a structural ingredient. Which is why it is so crucial to this recipe. Fruits like pumpkin, banana and zucchini all have the ability to add lift and structure to a baked good while also adding flavor and sweetness. That’s why you see so many pumpkin bread recipes going around!
Pumpkin is crucial to this baked oats recipe not just for fall flavor, but for keeping the entire recipe together. Think of it as an egg enhancer, a sweetness enhancer and a color enhancer – it does a loooot of the heavy lifting!
How to make pumpkin baked oats
It’s breakfast, so that means it’s easy. There are only four steps to make this baked oats recipe:
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Blend your oats into a fine oat flour, then mix together the pumpkin, oat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, almond butter, maple syrup and egg until you get a smooth batter.
- In a small mug, ramekin or mini dutch oven, pour in the batter and top with the chocolate.
- Bake at 350F for 18-22 minutes or until the baked oats are completely risen.
- Serve immediately!
FAQ
Absolutely. Just omit the egg and instead include 2-3 tablespoons of plant based milk. You won’t get as much rise and lightness in the texture of the baked oats, but they will still turn into a pretty delicious breakfast.
I would suggest baking it as soon as possible to get as much of a reaction out of the baking powder as you can (baking powder is double-acting, and reacts when it hits moisture as well as when it encounters heat). If you want to use this for meal prep, I would plan on baking it then storing it.
I suggest storing them in an air-tight container in the fridge.
They will last in the fridge for 5-6 days.
