Equipment

Ingredients

Baked oatmeal

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats (160g)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30g) can omit, might just need to add some extra maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (240g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60g)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (120g) I used almond

Vanilla maple cream cheese

  • 2 oz. cream cheese (56) reduced fat, softened
  • 1.5 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1-2 tsp milk of choice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and/or line with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients (oats through salt).
  • In a separate, medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin, vanilla, maple syrup and milk and whisk until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together to combine. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Take out and allow to cool completely before putting on icing if using (or store separately (this is what I usually do).

To make glaze:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk to desired consistency. Drizzle glaze all over the oatmeal bake or wait to drizzle for each serving.

Notes

To store: Cover with a lid or saran wrap, or transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge. Stored well, this pumpkin oatmeal bake will stay fresh for 5 days.
To make vegan: use a vegan protein powder and if making the glaze, a dairy-free cream cheese. Sub eggs for flax eggs or omit completely.

Nutrition notes:
*If using sugar-free syrup in place of pure maple syrup, the nutrition per serving is 141 calories 18.9C / 3.9F / 7.6P
*Omitting the glaze impacts the macros minimally (would be about 1g less of each macro per serving)
