- 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 c. unsweetened almond milk
- 2 1/2 c. oats (rolled or quick)
- 1/4 cl ground flax seed
- 1/4 c. pumpkin seeds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF (191ºC). Grease a baking dish with a little coconut oil.
(Use a 9 x 13-inch dish for 6 servings.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, pumpkin pie
spice, vanilla, baking powder, salt and milk until smooth.
Stir the oats and ground flax into the pumpkin mixture. Pour into the baking dish and sprinkle pumpkin seeds over top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center feels set and the edges are slightly golden.
