This Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal is made with gluten-free oats, filled with pumpkin pie spice and naturally sweetened dates. The perfect breakfast for a chilly fall morning!
As the mornings are starting to getting chillier, the desire for a cozy, warm bowl of oatmeal and a cup of steaming hot coffee become greater. This Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal (for two) is perfect for a fall morning🍂 Made with gluten-free oats, fresh pumpkin, and naturally sweetened with Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup for a cozy vegan breakfast (or snack)!
We topped ours with Cocojune Coconut yogurt, fresh blueberries, Kween and Co. Granola Butter, pumpkin seeds, and more cinnamon date syrup (duh)👅
Ingredients in these oats:
-
- Gluten-Free Oats
- We recommend using quick or rolled oats to create the creamy texture. Some of our favorite gluten-free oat brands are Thrive Market and Bob's Red Mill
- Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup
- The only natural sweetener needed. Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form. How convenient!
- Joolies Pitted Dates
- Medjool dates add lil sweet caramel-y bites, while packing in good nutrients like magnesium, potassium, antioxidants and more.
- Pumpkin Puree
- Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A and antioxidants to help boost your immune system! Make sure you grab 100% pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling 🎃
- Chia Seeds
- These help to thicken the oats while also being a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein.
- Dairy-Free Milk
- To keep it vegan, we went with an almond milk, but any dairy-free milk will work perfectly. If you're out of milk, you can substitute with water, it just won't be as creamy.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice and Cinnamon
- These add that "pumpkin spice" favor we all love!
