These warm, tender oatmeal cups are packed with pumpkin spice flavor and made with simple ingredients. Perfect for meal prep, they reheat beautifully and make your kitchen smell like fall.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (optional): chocolate chips, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, or golden raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. If using paper liners, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil (cooled slightly), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a spatula until evenly incorporated. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  5. Fold in any mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, pecans) if using.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Use a 1/3-cup measure or ice cream scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden brown around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking for a tender texture. Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For best results, use rolled oats, not quick oats. The cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
