There is no cozier and more delicious breakfast out there than baked oatmeal. Agreed?

I absolutely LOVE making oatmeal bakes. For starters, they are so easy and versatile. You can basically toss anything in them and usually it turns out perfect. I also love that they are filling and nutritious. Plus, they make a great meal prep recipe so perfect for busy mornings!

This new recipe though – what a delight! Pumpkin apple baked oatmeal? Like hello Autumn is all over this and I am not mad about it.

I love topping this off with some nut butter, fresh fruit and a side of yoghurt. It makes for the best breakfast ever and it always hits the spot.

Ingredients you’ll need

This pumpkin apple baked oatmeal recipe calls for a few wholesome pantry ingredients plus a fresh apple! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Rolled oats: the base of this pumpkin baked oatmeal is made with rolled oats. Feel free to use regular, old fashioned rolled oats or gluten free oats.
  • Sweetener: along with the apples you’ll just need a couple tablespoons of pure maple syrup or honey.
  • Pumpkin puree: I make my own by blending plain steamed pumpkin but if using store-bought, try to get organic + unsweetened with no added sugars!
  • Apple: any kind! I usually use royal gala or pink lady.
  • Nut butter: a touch of healthy fats to make these oats heartier and give more body. Almond is my favourite but peanut butter, cashew butter or tahini all work lovely.
  • Pumpkin spice: Either store-bought or make your own with a combo of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla
  • Non-dairy milk: I used almond milk but any kind will work.
  • Pecans: just a few to sprinkle on top. Totally optional but recommended.
Ingredients.

How to make pumpkin apple baked oatmeal 

This cozy and delicious vegan baked oatmeal only requires a bowl and baking dish. Get out your ingredients and let’s get baking!

Start by preheating your oven to 350F/ 180C. While the oven heats, dice the apple into small chunks.

In a large mixing bowl, stir your dry ingredients together (rolled oats, spices, baking powder and salt).

Then, pour your wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla) into the mixing bowl. Stir wet and dry ingredients together until well-combined.

Next, add the chopped apples to the mixing bowl and gently fold them into the oat mixture.

Finally, pour the mixture evenly into a 8×8 baking dish and sprinkle the top with pecans.

Place baking dish in oven for about 25-35 minutes or until ready.

The oatmeal will be done once it starts to bubble and brown at the top. Remove oatmeal from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving and adding toppings.

How to store and reheat baked oatmeal

While this pumpkin apple baked oatmeal tastes amazing straight from the oven, it makes a excellent addition to your weekly breakfast meal prep routine!

  • Fridge: once completely cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. 
  • Freeze: cut into 9 squares/ slices and wrap each square in plastic wrap or in a freezer safe container for up to 6 months
  • Freezer: the easiest way to reheat baked oatmeal is in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

  • A good source of several other micronutrients, including folate, copper, magnesium, andphosphorus

Apple nutrition benefits:

Apples are also an excellent source of dietary fibre. One medium-sized, unpeeled apple contains almost 5 grams of fibre, or 17% of your daily fibre needs. A source of micronutrients like vitamin C and potassium. They are also rich in various plant compounds that act as antioxidants, helping to prevent cellular damage.

Pumpkin nutrition benefits

Pumpkin is an incredible source of vitamin A, with 1 cup of cooked pumpkin providing 245% of your daily needs! Pumpkin is also a good source of other micronutrients, like vitamin C, E, B2 (riboflavin), potassium, copper, manganese, and iron. With it’s vibrant orange colour, pumpkin is rich in carotenoids (e.g. beta-carotene), which act as antioxidants in the body.
