Ingredients needed to make pumpkin baked oatmeal with pecans.

INGREDIENT NOTES

  • Quick oats: this is what makes this dish an OATMEAL bake!
  • Baking powder: to ensure that this baked oatmeal is level and evened out, baking powder will do the trick.
  • Brown sugar: for some added sweetness and a molasses-like taste.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: the blend of this spice is what brings this dish together.
  • Pecans (chopped): to add a little crunch, of course, we added pecans.
  • Salt: to enrich the flavors and balance the sweetness.
  • Pumpkin puree: store-bought is best for this recipe and adds so MUCH flavor.
  • Eggs: to fluff up the oatmeal and add some protein.
  • Vanilla almond milk: vanilla almond milk is best for this recipe and adds a nice flavor.
  • Butter (melted): to keep our ingredients together and to add some smooth texture.
  • Vanilla extract: adds such a great little bit of sweetness.
  • Maple syrup: maple syrup gives this oatmeal bake all the fall feels… or should I say taste!
