Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 2 Egg whites
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and brown sugar (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If using chopped nuts, fold them into the batter.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into 9 equal squares.
Serve immediately or store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These oatmeal squares are delicious served warm or cold!
