Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cup oat milk or other milk of choice
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Optional Ingredient
- 3-4 tbsp coconut sugar **
- 1/4 tsp sea salt Sprinkle on top
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans if not following nut-free
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and milk).
- Add in the dry ingredients (gluten-free rolled oats, pumpkin spice, baking powder, sea salt, and coconut sugar). Combine gently with a spatula.
- Fold in pecans and chocolate chips if using any.
- Let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes to let the batter thicken as the oats absorbs the liquid.
- Pour the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle extra pecans and chocolate chips on top (optional). Bake 40 - 45 min or until a toothpick comes out clean, but the top is still soft to touch.
- Let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes then take it out on a cooling rack. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- **If you prefer sweeter, add 1 - 2 extra tablespoons of coconut sugar.
