📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and lightly dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold the softened oats into the batter, along with the optional chopped nuts if desired.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!
