Ingredients for Pumpkin Baked Oats
- Pumpkin puree: I typically just use canned pumpkin from trader joes. Keep in mind that every brand of pumpkin puree will be slightly different. You can also choose to make your own.
- Oats: I highly recommend using rolled oats for the best results. I always go with Bakery on Main rolled oats because I love their quality and the fact that they are certified gluten-free.
- Dairy-free milk: I just used almond milk but you can also use soy milk. I have never tried using oat milk but I have heard to avoid using oat milk with oats.
- Nut butters: I like using cashew or almond butter for a natural flavor. If you use peanut butter, the peanut flavor will overpower all other flavors.
- Agave: I love using agave for this recipe but you can also use maple syrup or another sweetener of choice.
- Pumpkin Spice seasoning: This is a shortcut for using multiple spices so if you don’t have it just blend cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice together. Click here for a recipe.
- Vegan cream cheese: I used Tofutti for this recipe but I also recommend the brands Violife or kite hill.
Use an Air Fryer
I baked my pumpkin-baked oats in the air fryer using the roast setting at 350 F for 20 minutes. Make sure your container/dish is oven-safe. Keep in mind that air fryers are all different so cook time may vary.
