Ingredients for Vegan Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
- Pumpkin puree (canned or mashed roasted pumpkin), maple syrup and non dairy milk make up the wet ingredients. Use other sweeteners to substitute maple syrup.
- Old fashioned oats, gluten-free if needed, are the oats of choice. You can also use other grain flakes such as quinoa or rice.
- Pumpkin pie spice and coconut add flavor. Since there is no oil in this oatmeal, coconut adds a bit of fat and texture. Use other spices or blends, and omit coconut if you like.
- Nuts such as pecans or walnuts add the texture. Omit them for nutfree
- For nut-free, omit the nuts and use coconut milk or oat milk for non dairy milk.
How to make Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal with Step Photos
In a bowl add the oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, pecans, coconut and chia seeds. Mix to combine.
In the baking dish or another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, non dairy milk and maple syrup until mixed in. Add the oat mixture and mix well for a few seconds. Even it out in the baking dish.
Top the oatmeal with pecans and pumpkin seeds and coconut sugar or other toppings of choice.
Bake at 365 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes. Let the mixture sit for another 10 mins in the oven, then remove. This helps the flavors meld and the oatmeal sets more for easy slicing. Cool for 10 mins, then slice and serve with maple syrup, yogurt, vegan butter or whipped coconut cream or other toppings.

I made the terrible mistake of following the recipe the first time and not DOUBLING it! This is by far everyone’s favorite in my house. I have made it three times so far and I literally have to fight for my piece. This is SO good! Now I double it and bake it in a 9×13, added 5 minutes to cook time. Perfect!!
😀 awesome! i’ll add not to double!
I’m definitely going to try this. Yum!
Made this today and it was delish.
Thanks!! Please add a rating when you make again! helps people and search engines:)
I ended up using a sweet potato instead of pumpkin – generally prefer the taste to the pumpkins I can readily buy in my supermarket. I added some cranberries on top along with the pumpkin seeds, as well as some ginger and allspice into the batter, with a sprinkling of white sugar as it was what I had. I also used whey leftover from some homemade yogurt and some dairy milk. The baked oatmeal was very nice – it really did turn out like soft oatmeal bars! They are not super sweet which is nice, but have such a wonderful aroma. Had them with some yogurt and they were super nice. If you’re looking for a nice snack, I recommend these!
Awesome!! Thanks! Please do add a rating!!
Simple and delicious!
thanks!!
This was FABULOUS!! Thank you!!
Thanks!!
What size baking dish did you use?
oops forgot to add the size. its 9 by 9 inch
Lovely recipe! I recently tried making baked oatmeal and it was too “slimy”…I am sure it was the recipe but wonder what texture this has? thank you!
i dislike slimy oatmeal. this is almost like soft pumpkin oatmeal bars! no slime.
It might be the type of oats or maybe too much liquid. Quick cooking oats will get slimy, these are old fashioned oats and with just enough moisture so they bake into soft bars. What oats did you use?
Thank you! yes…I winged it and it was inedible lol. I will definitely try this. thank you!
just made this this morning for breakfast so yummy ❤️ I used flax instead of chia cuz that’s what I had. Used coconut milk (almond allergy) with hemp seed, date and cashew mix in’s. If you’re single like me it works great to half the recipe and make in a loaf pan 👍
Thank you Kim!!
I see you mentioned bananas at the very end of the recipe. Are there bananas in this? If so, how much. Thank you – this looks wonderful!
there isnt 🙂 i copied the questions from my banana baked oatmeal post, hence the banana ended up there. here the banana one, you can use half banana, half pumpkin 🙂 https://fettabbau-trim.today/2019/09/banana-bread-baked-oatmeal-vegan.html%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Yum. I like the idea of mixing the pumpkin and banana. Sometimes I dont have enough of one ingredient and this would Make an easy sub and variation.
Thinking I will sub flaxmeal for the chia to help it set up.
