Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Now, if you’ve come to this recipe, you are my kind of person! You love fall flavored goodies! YAY! You’ll definitely want to save my Healthy Pumpkin Cookies, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins, BEST Healthy Apple Crisp and my Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal, for later too then to meet all your fall flavored needs. But, for now, you’re here for these oats, and I don’t blame you.

This healthy pumpkin baked oatmeal recipe might just beat all my other baked oatmeal flavors. You seriously would never guess this recipe is actually good for you! It’s the perfect healthy breakfast to start the day on one of the cooler mornings. Plus, having your house smell like pumpkin pie is one of the best things ever!

So what makes this pumpkin baked oatmeal healthy? Here’s the shortened version:

Vegan plant-based protein powder (here is the brand I use and love)
Oats (find the health benefits of oats here.)
Plant based milk (high in potassium and iron)
Pumpkin (Loaded in vitamin A)
Cinnamon (antioxidant rich. Read all the benefits of cinnamon here)

Pink Himalayan Salt (rich in minerals and less processed than table salt. Read more about the benefits of pink salt here.

Baked Oatmeal Without Eggs or Milk

This pumpkin oatmeal recipe uses absolutely no eggs or regular milk! Just like in my Matcha Latte recipe, we use plant based milk as listed above. Feel free to use any milk you have on hand though! And even if you don’t have milk, you can sub with good ole’ H2O (water). The oats and protein powder make this oatmeal bake soft, chewy, and slightly fluffy without having to add any eggs.

How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Pie Oats

As I just said above, you don’t need any eggs or flax eggs for this baked oatmeal recipe. It’s completely vegan and plant based. The beauty of this oatmeal recipe is that you can use whatever protein powder or milk you have on hand! Even if you don’t have milk, you can sub it for all water. That’s how easy and simple it is!

This high protein baked oatmeal recipe is made with my very favorite unflavored plant based protein powder. And if you’re looking for more great vegan breakfast options, check out these 12 Easy Vegan Protein Breakfasts!

Best Healthy Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal (Chocolate Chip!)

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 Cup Pumpkin Puree (canned or fresh)
2 Cups Rolled Oats (or quick cooking)
1 Scoop Unflavored Plant-Based Protein Powder (See Note 3 for sub options)
¼ Cup Honey or Pure Maple Syrup (See Note 3 if using flavored/sweetened protein powder)
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1½ tsp Cinnamon
⅛ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
1 Cup Water
½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chunks/Chips (Love this dairy-free brand)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. In a 2 quart baking pan add all ingredients except chocolate chunks and stir until mixture is combined.

3. Gently stir in chocolate chunks.

4. Place in oven to bake at 350 F. for 35-40 minutes until slightly golden (mine is perfect after 40 minutes).

5. Let baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes or until set and serve with nut butter (code “shh20”), protein cream cheese icing, fresh berries, banana slices, or your favorite milk!

6. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a premade healthy breakfast all week long!

Notes

Liquid: You can use any liquid of choice for this recipe. I use a combination of plain unsweetened almond milk and water to make the oats thick and creamy. You can swap the milk for all water or do a different combination. I have found that this combo works perfectly though!
Oats: Most oats are gluten-free, just make sure by checking the packaging! I love this brand. You can use rolled or quick cooking oats. Steel cut will not work.
Any plant based protein powder works! If you’re using flavored or sweetened protein powder, I would suggest omitting or adding the honey or maple syrup to taste. Whey protein powder does also work, but may change the texture a bit. I’ve had many people use whey protein powder and love the results!
Don’t have pumpkin puree? You can sub the pumpkin puree with 1 Cup mashed ripe banana or 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce. Adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup to taste if needed. Not using pumpkin will drastically take away the pumpkin flavor, but it’s still doable since we add pumpkin pie spice.
