These Easy Pumpkin Pie Spice Baked Oatmeal Cups are tender, muffin-like, and perfect for busy mornings or meal prep. Made with simple ingredients like oats, pumpkin puree, and warm spices, they taste like dessert for breakfast but are wholesome and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
  • ½ cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (pure maple syrup or honey)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. A few streaks of dry oats are okay. If adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. The batter will thicken slightly.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the cups to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t skip the 5-minute rest time for the batter—it helps the oats hydrate for a tender texture. Use room temperature ingredients to prevent coconut oil from seizing. Avoid overbaking; pull cups out when tops are just set. These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. For a single dish, bake in an 8×8 pan for 25-30 minutes.
