With this pumpkin pie spice baked oatmeal recipe, rolled oats are baked in the oven with a liquid concoction that has all of the flavors of a fall pumpkin spice latte!
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 8” or 9” baking dish with cooking spray.
Whisk all of the porridge ingredients together in a large bowl and transfer to the baking dish.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven (until golden and the oat milk has been absorbed). Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with pumpkin seeds and cinnamon powder. Serve!
Notes
Oats: This recipe has also been tested with quick oats and they work well as a substitute for old-fashioned rolled oats.
Espresso powder note: For the espresso powder, this isn't regular instant coffee; make sure it says espresso on the package. It has a more concentrated flavor. If you aren’t a fan of the espresso flavor or you are serving it to kids, it can easily be omitted.
Egg option: You could also mix an egg into the ingredients before baking. Not only does this add protein, but it also acts as a binding agent to give the oatmeal a more casserole-like consistency.
Topping option: Optionally, you can drizzle the bake oatmeal with some maple syrup when serving.
Storage: Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days and reheated as needed. You may need to add in another splash of milk when reheating to keep the original consistency.
