10 mins prepServes 1
A cozy, decadent, and easy vegan and gluten-free baked oats recipe using pumpkin purée, topped with a simple chocolate cashew butter frosting. Perfect for using up leftover pumpkin.
First, prepare the baked oats. In a bowl, combine the oat flour, 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of cacao powder, a dash of vanilla, a pinch of salt, pumpkin purée, and 1/4 cup of plant milk (adding 1 tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too dry). Stir in dark chocolate or chocolate chips to your liking. Mix until well combined. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes. While the oats are baking, prepare the frosting. In a separate small bowl, mix a generous spoonful of cashew butter with 1 teaspoon of cacao powder and 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup until smooth and well combined. Once the baked oats are done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with the prepared frosting and enjoy!
