Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (non-dairy if needed), plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350º F and grease a 9×9 or 8×8-inch baking dish. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the baked oatmeal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Combine: Add the milk, rolled oats, baking soda, kosher salt, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool in the dish for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set up for clean cuts and enhances flavor.

Notes

  • You can use any milk of choice such as almond, oat, or cow’s milk depending on dietary preferences.
  • For a vegan and dairy-free option, ensure you use non-dairy chocolate chips and plant-based milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or adding a sprinkle of brown sugar on top before baking.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
  • Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
