Ingredients
- 2 cup quick oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- 1½ cups almond milk
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 red or green apple chopped
Topping:
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
Let's Make It
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease individual glass meal prep containers or a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined,
- Stir in the almond milk, protein powder (if using), and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated. You can blend this if you want, but it is not required. I use an emersion blender to make it easy!
- Fold in the apple.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared glass meal prep containers or baking dish.
- In a small bowl mix together the pumpkin pie spice + coconut sugar.
- If desired, sprinkle the topping mixture over the oatmeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely before placing the lids on the containers and putting away.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Warm up in the microwave for 1:30 before serving!
