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.
