Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Florida Orange Juice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups large flake or old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup pecans (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9-inch baking dish or six individual ramekins to prevent sticking, then set them aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smoothly combined and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, pecans (if using), pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Combine Liquids: Pour in the Florida orange juice and milk or milk alternative, mixing thoroughly to create a thick, consistent batter.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish or divide evenly among the individual ramekins, smoothing the tops.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For individual ramekins, bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Serve: Serve warm directly from the oven or refrigerate and serve chilled. Top with additional milk, maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit according to preference.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based milk alternative.
  • Pecans add crunch but can be omitted for a nut-free dish.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Orange juice adds a fresh citrus note – for a less tangy version, consider using apple juice instead.
