These tender, warmly spiced pumpkin baked oatmeal cups are quick to make, perfect for meal prep, and taste like a hug on a chilly morning. A forgiving one-bowl recipe that proves sometimes the best dishes come from breaking the rules.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, or raisins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt with a fork until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. Fold in mix-ins. Reserve a few to press on top for presentation.
  6. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid.
  7. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top (about 1/4 cup per cup).
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until tops are set and golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Let batter rest 5 minutes for better texture. Use room temperature ingredients to prevent coconut oil from seizing. Check doneness at 18 minutes. Cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess. These taste even better the next day.
