These Easy Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal Cups are a quick, portable breakfast that tastes like fall. Made with simple pantry ingredients, they’re perfect for busy mornings and crowd-pleasing brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips, chopped pecans, walnuts, or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until spices are evenly distributed.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using mix-ins, fold in 1/3 cup of your choice now.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid.
  7. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin using a 1/4-cup scoop, filling each cup almost to the top. Gently press down to even the surface.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t skip the rest time—it helps the cups hold their shape. For extra crispy edges, bake for the full 22 minutes. Let cups cool completely before peeling off paper liners if used. These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
