  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • optional: ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray an 8 or 9" square baking dish or pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Add the oats, pecans, chocolate chips (if using), pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, cooled butter, and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes for a more spoonable oatmeal or 40-45 minutes for a thicker oatmeal you can cut into pieces. Cool just slightly before serving.
