Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tsp chai spice blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin, eggs, milk, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the oats, flaxseed, and chai spice until smooth.
- Pour into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. Cool before cutting and storing.
- Serve oatmeal with a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- For a no added sugar version that is baby led weaning friendly, omit the maple syrup and add one large ripe mashed banana with the pumpkin.
- You can also bake this into oatmeal cups using a muffin tin. The bake time will be about 25 minutes.
- For a vegan version, use flax or chia 'eggs' and your favorite non-dairy milk.
- If you don't have chai spice, you can use pumpkin pie spice instead. It won't taste quite the same but it will still be delicious!
- Feel free to add in any mix-ins you'd like, such as walnuts, pecans, apples, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries.
