This quick and easy Starbucks-inspired pumpkin spice latte baked oatmeal recipe is made with real coffee and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. This healthy breakfast recipe screams "Fall vibes" and will kickstart your day with all the energy you need. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar-free.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch square dish with cooking or avocado oil spray.
In a large bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin puree, almond milk, coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together to fully combine.
In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and hand fold in the chocolate chips or pecans.
Pour into the greased baking dish and sprinkle some extra chocolate chips and pecans on top.
Bake for 30 – 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is done.
Enjoy warm with maple syrup, honey, or on its own!
Notes
Coffee: Use decaf, cold brew, or regular coffee. I used my Nespresso, but black coffee, drip coffee, and a Keurig will work too.No Coffee: If you don’t want coffee or don’t like the flavor of coffee, substitute it with 1/2 more of almond milk.Quick Oats: You can use quick oats, but remember that the texture will be softer than usual. That is why I always recommend using old fashion rolled oats. Don’t use steel-cut oats!Almond Milk: You can also use oat milk, cashew milk, or cow's milk.Freezing: Freezing baked oatmeal is an excellent option if you like to meal prep. Simply let the baked oatmeal cool, cut them into squares, and then place each square in a freezer-safe and airtight bag. Freeze for up to 3 months!Storing: Storing leftovers is so easy! Place the baked oatmeal squares in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for 1 – 2 days or place them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.Reheating: When ready to enjoy, either place in the microwave for 20 – 45 seconds to heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 10 minutes.
