Print Recipe

These healthy baked pumpkin oatmeal cups are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast, made with simple ingredients like oats, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. They’re quick to prepare, naturally sweetened, and packed with cozy fall flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, or 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your muffin tin well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a fork to distribute the spices evenly.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. If adding mix-ins, fold them in now.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t skip the 5-minute rest time for the oats—it ensures tender oatmeal cups. Use room temperature eggs to prevent coconut oil from seizing. For best results, bake one pan at a time. These oatmeal cups taste even better on day two after the flavors meld.
