Warm, comforting, and full of fall flavor - this pumpkin baked oatmeal is the perfect make-ahead breakfast for crisp mornings. Lightly sweetened with maple syrup and spiced to perfection, it’s like pumpkin pie you can eat for breakfast.
Place an oven rack on the center shelf and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup, sugar and vanilla. Add the baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and whisk to combine.
Add the rolled oats and stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, if using. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
*Note: The cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg can be replaced with 2 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.Storage InstructionsRefrigerator: Once it’s completely cooled, cover the pan tightly or transfer slices to an airtight container. It’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.To reheat: just warm a portion in the microwave for about 30–45 seconds, or in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes. I like to add a splash of milk or cream before reheating to bring back that soft, creamy texture.To freeze: Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They’ll keep for about 3 months.
