HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN BAKED OATMEAL
The process is really pretty simple. Just set aside 10 minutes for the preparation and 30 minutes of oven time.
You can also make a batch of baked pumpkin oatmeal in advance. Oatmeal may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. But now, let’s see how to make it in detail.
Start by adding oats, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and nuts to a large well, and stir well. This will be the base of your pumpkin baked oatmeal.
Time for the liquids. Add dairy-free milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, chia egg and vanilla extract.
As this is a baked oatmeal without eggs, the chia egg is essential. This is simply made by combining 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water – easy!
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir well. Make sure they are well combined!
Pour mixture into a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes.
You want the liquid to be fully absorbed and the center to be set. This is how it should look like when it’s ready to be taken out:
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and add a splash of dairy-free milk if you prefer it wetter. It’s that easy!
