Pumpkin Baked Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
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 (which is new!) or you can read on for all the details.

What ingredients you need to make pumpkin spice 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 🙂

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

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

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 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.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing and Chili Almonds! I usually don’t do baked salads back to back, but this dressing hit me like a ton of bricks and I needed to make it. It’s just the right amount of creamy, sweet and acidic, and the chili almonds balance everything out with a nutty crunch.

It serves four which means I have three servings in my fridge just WAITING for me, and I cannot wait. 

Full recipe is on the blog and linked in bio, and I hope you’ll love it if you make it!

BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! B BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! Because the end of summer is for building your starter and the fall is for using it 😎

I call this my “Low Discard Sourdough Starter” because I’ve always found myself frustrated by how much flour recipes tell you to waste when building a starter. This one starts with as little flour as possible, and uses a method that makes sure you’ll be ready to bake in less than 7 days. It differs a bit from the traditional method, but it’s fool-proof, and never fails me. 

This is a bit of a longer video, so feel free to save it as a resource for building your starter and visual cues! The full instructions are written out on the blog post linked below and in my bio. 

Let me know of any questions in the comments, and I hope this helps!
