Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Florida Orange Juice
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups large flake or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup pecans (optional)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or six individual ramekins to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, pecans (if using), pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Liquids: Pour in the Florida orange juice and the milk or milk alternative, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients into a moist batter.
- Transfer and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes for a single baking dish, or 20 to 25 minutes for individual ramekins. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled with toppings like milk, additional maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or leave out nuts for a nut-free version.
- For a vegan option, use a flax egg or chia egg instead of the large egg, and a plant-based milk.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the warm spice flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.
