Ingredients
Oats
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice see notes for DIY
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped pecans plus more for garnish if desired
- 1 ¾ - 2 cups non dairy milk 1 3/4 for a more set center, 2 for a softer center
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp nut butter I used almond
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp maple syrup more or less, to taste
Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
- ¼ cup non dairy cream cheese I used Kite Hill
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp cinnamon or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (first 6 ingredients) and mix well. Add in the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
- Transfer to an 8x8 baking dish.
- Bake for 28-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- You can bake it for longer if you prefer a more set center, but keep in mind it will firm up quite a bit as it cools and as it sits in the fridge, so if you're prepping this ahead of time, don't bake for too much longer.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the cream cheese glaze in a small bowl and drizzle on top.
Notes
This recipe stores well in the fridge. You can make this the night before and simply reheat in the morning for a quick breakfast! It will last in the fridge for about 3 days.
For DIY pumpkin pie spice, combine 4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and use 2 1/2 total tsp for this recipe.
Make sure you use a PLAIN cream cheese, not flavored!
Depending on which cream cheese you use, you may need to add a tablespoon or so of milk to help it whisk together.
