- Blend Ingredients
Start by blending all your ingredients, except for the dark chocolate chips, until everything is well-combined. This ensures a smooth, even mixture for your baked oatmeal. - Prepare Baking Dish
Pour the blended mixture into a greased ramekin or an oven-safe dish. Make sure to grease the dish well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal. - Add Chocolate Chips
Sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top of the oatmeal mixture. This will add a delightful touch of chocolate that melts and blends beautifully with the pumpkin spice. - Bake
Place your dish in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes. The oatmeal is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Finish and Serve
For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on top after baking, if desired. Enjoy your warm, pumpkin spice-infused baked oatmeal!
Tips for Perfect Baked Oatmeal
- Gluten-Free Option: Ensure you use certified gluten-free oats if you have dietary restrictions.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding or omitting the pure maple syrup based on your taste preference.
- Texture: For a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk.
