- 1 cup whole milk or almond milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- For the cinnamon swirl: ¼ cup brown sugar + 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree from 100% pure pumpkin for best flavor.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to your spice preference.
- Top with shredded coconut or chocolate chips for added flavor.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
