  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Old Fashioned Oats or Gluten-Free Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree

Optional Garnishes

  • Powdered Sugar
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the oatmeal mixture evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, ensuring the spices are distributed evenly throughout the dry mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients. Whisk the eggs, milk, and pumpkin puree in a separate bowl or directly into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan. Lightly spray a 9×9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the baked oatmeal.
  5. Pour and Spread. Pour the combined oatmeal mixture into the baking pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a light dash of ground cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
  6. Bake. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
  7. Cool and Serve. Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 2-3 minutes, then cut into 9 squares. Serve warm with optional toppings such as powdered sugar, additional ground cinnamon, warm milk, or chopped walnuts for extra texture and taste.
