There is nothing quite like the smell of pumpkin and spices wafting through the house on a crisp morning. This baked oatmeal is a family favorite because it feels like a treat but is wholesome enough to start the day right. I love how the little bits of chocolate melt into the oats to create something truly special.

My best advice for this recipe is to use real pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. It gives you better control over the sweetness, and you can add a little extra maple syrup if you prefer things on the sweeter side.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in half of the chocolate chips, then pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.

  7. 7

    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Let the oatmeal cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with an extra splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt on top. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat individual portions in the microwave.
