Ingredients

3 tablespoon chia seeds
½ cup water
1 ½ cups milk of choice
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
¼ cup ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups old fashioned oats
½ cup raw pepitas/ pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare an 8x8-inch pan with nonstick spray.
Combine water and chia seeds in a small bowl and let sit for a 3-5 minutes to create a gelatinous texture (it should mimic an egg-like consistency).
Mix together wet ingredients (pumpkin, milk of choice, chia mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract).
Reserve 1-2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds to sprinkle on top of the oatmeal bake. Add remainder of the pumpkin seeds along with the rest of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir.
Pour into prepared baking pan and sprinkle reserved pumpkin seeds on top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until center is set.
