Loaded with pumpkin pie spices, this easy to make oatmeal recipe is a terrific autumn breakfast. It’s vegan and gluten-free.

I’m really not a pumpkin spice kind of a girl. I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte and I don’t own and pumpkin spice scented body products. But autumn does have me craving warm, cinnamony foods, and pumpkin is pretty much everywhere this time of year. 

Pumpkin doesn’t have much flavor on it’s own. It’s the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg that it’s often paired with that people find themselves drawn to.

Pumpkin contains a lot of nutrients, so it definitely deserves a spot on our plates, with our without the spices. Some of the many health benefits of pumpkin include:

  • Pumpkin is loaded with beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A, as well as vitamin C. Both vitamins can help boost the immune system. 
  • The vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin that pumpkin contain can help protect the eyes from sight-loss.
  • It contains carotenoids, which have been shown to lower the risk of cancer.
  • Pumpkins are high in potassium and fiber, which have are known to benefit heart heath.
  • The carotenoids and vitamin A in pumpkins are great for your skin. 
  • The many nutrients in pumpkin are known for reducing inflammation in the body, which in turn reduces the risk of chronic disease.

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal is super easy to make! 

  • First, you whisk together the pumpkin purée, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and nut butter.
  • Next, you add rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine everything.
  • And then you just pop it in the oven!

My oven runs hot, so this dish needs just half an hour to cook. It could take up to 40 minutes to bake, depending on the oven, though.

You can serve the finished dish with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt to make your breakfast seem a little fancy.

    Hi,
    This looks absolutely delish! I have a question, though. Is it one cup of pumpkin puree or is it one 14 ounce can of pumpkin puree? Thank you.
