Pumpkin Baked Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Pumpkin Baked Oats
October is quintessential pumpkin season and that meant that it only felt right for me to share my Pumpkin Baked Oats recipe. Or my pumpkin *spice* baked oats recipe if that is your thing 😉 Although this is much more heavy on the pumpkin and light on the spice in my opinion, but that’s what makes it so good! It’s a simple, filling, easy breakfast that will make you KNOW that fall is in full swing.

This recipe is simple and adaptable, plus it can be done in less than 30 minutes. You can see the full version on my YouTube or you can read on for all the details.

The ingredients for these baked oats

I gave both grams and cups – if you have any issues with the recipe on the first go, I suggest switching to grams for the most accuracy 🙂

  • 50 grams pumpkin purée (1/3 cup)
  • 50 grams oats, (1/2 cup) blended into oat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 32 grams drizzly almond butter (2 tablespoons)
  • 35 grams maple syrup (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cubes dark chocolate, I like Hu Kitchen’s chocolate bars or gems

What pumpkin does do 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 lot 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 350°F.
  • 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 350°F for 18-22 minutes or until the baked oats are completely risen.
  • Serve immediately!

FAQ

Can I make this vegan?

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.

Can I prepare this batter ahead of time?

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 and then storing it.

How can I store these baked oats?

I suggest storing them in an air-tight container in the fridge.

How long will these baked oats keep?

They will last in the fridge for 5-6 days.

Grilled corn with Smoky Sesame Hot Honey and @athe Grilled corn with Smoky Sesame Hot Honey and @athenosfeta chunks, my favorite summer side to serve right now #AthenosPartner

The salty Athenos Feta Chunk just proves that #FoodNeedsFeta because this corn would feel a little naked without it. While the sesame hot honey is one of my favorite things, it needs a little saltiness from the feta to make it sing. Sweet corn, salty feta, hot honey - work so well together.

Athenos Fets chunks are some of my favorite cheese to purchase, it’s so versatile and can really be a topper for anything. You can find it in your grocery store and I hope this recipe makes it to one of your summer parties!
