These easy pumpkin pie baked oatmeal cups are the perfect make-ahead breakfast for fall. They taste like pumpkin pie but are made with wholesome oats, pumpkin puree, and warm spices for a healthy, grab-and-go meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners or spray generously with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs (room temperature), 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. If adding mix-ins, fold them in now.
  5. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some liquid.
  6. Scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before baking for a tender texture. Use room temperature ingredients for even baking. Check pumpkin pie spice freshness for best flavor. Do not overbake; cups continue to cook from residual heat. Parchment liners prevent sticking. These taste even better on day two as flavors meld.
