Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350° F. and spray a 9x9 or similar baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add in the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apple.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle evenly over the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is golden brown. Let the baked oatmeal rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, with additional maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
This baked oatmeal is delicious on its own, but a drizzle of maple syrup or a scoop of Greek yogurt makes it even better. For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the spice mix.
