Ingredients

  • 4 cups old fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup coconut oil see notes
  • 2 Tablespoons almond milk see notes
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Measure and place the oats in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Use a small saucepan. Heat the coconut oil, plant milk, and sugar on medium-low heat. Stir constantly and heat just until the sugar melts. Do not boil.
  • Remove the heated mixture from the heat and mix in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir together until the oats are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for one hour and fifteen minutes, stirring and flipping around every 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.

Notes

Refined coconut oil will give you less of a coconut flavor. Virgin coconut oil will taste more coconutty. Your choice. I find both delicious, but do prefer the coconut taste from the virgin coconut oil.
Use any plant milk of your choice. I use either almond milk or oat milk.
