Pumpkin Oat Casserole
Servings: 8 servings
A new way to use canned pumpkin and possibly your new favorite brunch recipe! This is easy, nutritious, and so easy. Everything goes into a dish and into the oven. Serve it as breakfast, brunch, snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup 85 g stirred almond butter
- ¼ cup 60 ml maple syrup (see Notes for no-added-sugar option)
- 1 teaspoon 5 ml pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups 473 ml unsweetened soy milk
- 2 cups 180 g old fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
- 2 tablespoons 20 g chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons 4 g pumpkin spice mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup 190 g fresh or frozen blueberries, see Notes
- Optional garnish: ½ cup 50 g chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF (175ºC).
- In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until everything is combined. Now whisk in the soy milk. It will be clumpy and loose, that’s okay.
- Now add the remaining ingredients (minus the optional walnut garnish) to the bowl and stir everything together. Pour the mixture into a 7x10 inch (18x25 cm) or 9x9 inch (23 cm) casserole dish. If using nuts as a garnish, sprinkle them over the top.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes until the middle no longer looks wet or goopy. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, it will continue to set as it rests. Serve warm with additional berries or maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- For a no-added-sugar option omit the maple syrup. If you want to sweeten the casserole with dates instead, add the pumpkin puree, almond butter, vanilla, soy milk, and ½ cup pitted medjool dates to a blender and blend until smooth and follow the recipe as written.
- This oat casserole also makes an easy, casual dessert. Try swapping the blueberries for ½ cup vegan chocolate chips and serving it warm with dairy-free ice cream.
- If you let the casserole cool completely, you can cut the casserole into squares and take it for an on-the-go breakfast or snack.
