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.

Made this this morning. Yummy. I think next time I’ll cut back on the maple syrup to 2 tablespoons since the raisins I added were very sweet on their own. I used an 8×8 pan since that’s what I had. It worked fine. I will definitely make this again.
aweesome
Easy and delicious! I keep all these ingredients in my pantry so it wasn’t a lot of fuss. Thank you for this new treat in my breakfast rotation!
You use the word “oatmeal”, but photos show rolled oats. There’s a world of difference …
I’ve yet to find oatmeal in Portugal. Do you have a source?
oatmeal is used for a coarse meal of oats as well as a dish made with rolled oats. Tthis is a dish made with rolled oats. use regular rolled oats
How many servings is this, please? Nutritionals are based on a serving and I don’t see portion size anywhere.
And could you freeze this? I batch cook for my senior dad, and everything goes in the freezer.
Thanks!
it makes 9 by 9 inch dish and 4 servings. yes, you can freeze it. it might get a bit more moist, toasting it might help before serving
So easy and tasty. Just the right amount of sweetness too. I ate the first serving like a bar on the go and then this morning with banana and almond milk poured over.
I will definitely be making this again.
awesome!
I made this for breakfast today and it was excellent. I had to start with cooking some of my halloween pumpkin that had been destined for the compost bin because I had no canned pumpkin but it work fine. I stuck very close to the recipe but I only have a 11” x 9” pan so I increased the recipe by about a third (fully 2 cups of oats and 2 cups of liquid).
We ate it topped with yoghurt (non-vegans) and cashew milk (vegan) and it was excellent and everyone enjoyed it. It was very fast and easy to make. I will make it again.
Awesome!
I just made this for breakfast and it was perfect for a chilly morning. I added chopped dates and vanilla extract to the batter and I used date syrup instead of maple syrup. It came out delicious! Thank you!
awesome!
Great recipe!! easy breakfast, excited to eat it as a snack for the rest of the week.
Best baked oatmeal recipe I’ve tried so far.
yay!!
Ok, looks amazing! But, what did you top it with? Coconut Whip?
yes whipped coconut cream (coco whip)
These are wonderful! Better than the sugary bars in the store. Made them this morning. All gone .
awesome!!
