Main Ingredients

2 cups organic old fashioned rolled oats The hearty base that packs a nutritious punch.
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional) Adds protein for extra energy and helps keep you full.
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend A quintessential fall flavor that enhances warmth and richness.
1/2 teaspoon sea salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors overall.
1 cup milk of choice Moistens the oats and contributes to a creamy texture.
1 cup pure pumpkin puree Infuses moisture and a natural sweetness to the dish.
1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup Natural sweeteners that elevate the taste.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic note to each bite.
1/2 cup dark mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar For a rich, indulgent touch of sweetness.

Preparation

Grease your baking dish with unrefined coconut oil, avocado oil, ghee, or butter generously to ensure easy removal.

Cooking

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients until well blended.
Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish, ensuring it’s distributed evenly.
Optionally sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added indulgence.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is just set. Be careful not to overbake; a crisp outside and soft inside is ideal.

Serving

Let the baked oats cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious breakfast or snack any time of day.

Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a quick breakfast option throughout the week. Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months.
