Description
Easy Pumpkin Spice Baked Oat Squares that ignite cozy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Rolled oats (Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture.)
- 1 tbsp Baking powder (Helps the squares rise gently.)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Enhances the spice flavors.)
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon (The star spice for warmth.)
- 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg (Adds a subtle sweetness.)
- 1/4 tsp Ground cloves (Deepens the cozy aroma.)
- 1 cup Brown sugar (Use packed brown sugar for moistness.)
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (Brings moist, tender bite.)
- 1 large Egg (Binds the ingredients.)
- 1/2 cup Milk (Any milk works, keep it light.)
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract (Adds sweetness.)
- 1/2 cup Chopped nuts (Walnuts or pecans for crunch.)
- 1/2 cup Dark chocolate chips (For indulgence without overpowering.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk rolled oats, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet batter into the oat mixture and fold gently until all oats are moistened.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 25–30 minutes.
- Allow the oat squares to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely before slicing.
