Ingredients
- 2⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin puree (1 (15 oz) can)
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
- 4 cups old fashioned oats, gluten free certified if necessary
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a muffin pan. You could also use muffin liners. To a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, ground flax seed and vanilla. Whisk mixture together well, until the pumpkin has been completely mixed in.
- Next, add the oats, spices, baking powder and salt. Mix together until all ingredients are well combined. Let sit for about 10 minutes so that the oats can absorb some of the liquid.
- I like to use a 1/4 cup scoop to scoop the oat batter into the muffin pan. They won’t really rise too much so you can fill them pretty high. This recipe should make 12 large oatmeal cups or about 14-16 smaller ones.
- Place oatmeal cups in the oven and bake until they are cooked through and firm to the touch, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin pan for about 15 minutes before taking them out. These oatmeal cups can be eaten cold, room temperature or heated up in the microwave. Eat plain or top with whipped cream, caramel sauce or butter.
Notes
Store oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you want to re-heat before eating, heat in a microwave for about 45 seconds or in the oven at 400 degrees F for 7-10 minutes.
