Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3 tbsp ground chia seeds (or ground flax seeds)
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup almond butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. In a rectangular 8×11-inch baking dish, add the oats, ground chia, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. Mix together.
In a small mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients: pumpkin, almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together to combine. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake until the edges are golden and the mixture is set, 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into slices and serving, or allow to cool completely.

Notes

This recipe will keep for up to one week. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Alternatively, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Be sure that the baked oatmeal has cooled completely before storing. To re-heat, pop in the microwave in 30 second increments for 1 to 2 minutes. (This recipe is also delicious cold.)

This pumpkin oatmeal can be frozen. Wrap the entire baking dish really well in tin foil and freeze for up to 3 months.

Or, transfer individual slices to an air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

To reheat from frozen: preheat the oven to 350F/180C - cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Or, reheat individual slices in the microwave. Starting with 1 minute and followed by 30 second increments until warmed to your liking.

Chocolate chips can be replaced for chopped pecans or walnuts.
