    Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal w/ diced apple brings the full flavor of fall into these individual hand-held bites.

    My kids love my Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Bites so much, that I decided to make them a fall version. I think they like these even more!

    I’ve packed these individual oatmeal cups with pumpkin and apples….two of autumn’s signature flavors. Then I added some warming spices and a little pure maple syrup to amp up the deliciousness.

    These Apple Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal Bites are perfect for a quick breakfast or a grab-n-go snack.

    A Versatile Snack

    You can make these with your favorite apple variety. We have been crushing on Empires and Cortlands from the apple orchard lately. So tart and yummy!

    You can also add some chopped nuts, seeds or even chocolate chips to the mix if you wish. Such a healthy delicious snack!

    I’ve made two batches of these so far because the first one was gone in two days!

    Healthy Breakfast or Snack

    As always these are vegan – dairy free and egg free.

    They are also gluten free, oil free, and refined sugar free!

    Yes, they are sweet and full of flavor. Adult and kid approved!

    Grab-n-Go

    It’s so much quicker and easier to get your dose of fiber from oatmeal you can grab-n-go.

    I do love a warm bowl of steaming oatmeal on a cold winter morning, but these portables cuties are delicious any time of day or year. Perfect for breakfast, the lunchbox or an afternoon snack.

    Heck, if your kids (or you) overslept, these could even be eaten on the walk to the bus.

    How do you like your oatmeal??

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • ½ cup pure maple syrup
    • ½ cup non-dairy milk (I like Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk)
    • 3 cups old fashioned oats (gluten free, if necessary)
    • 2 tbsp flaxmeal
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 large apple (your favorite, diced) (about 1 - 1 ½ cups...it doesn't have to be exact)

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    • Lightly spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
    • In a small mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla, maple syrup and non dairy milk.
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, flaxmeal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry while mixing to combine well.
    • Add the diced apples and mix to incorporate.
    • Fill each muffin cup all the way and press down lightly to pack it.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes until oatmeal pulls away from the sides of the pan and the tops are lightly browned.
    • Let cool in pan for 5-10 minutes.
    • Run a knife along the edges if needed to help get them out. They should come out easily!
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    ~Store leftovers completely cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.

      Are there Pepitas inside these or just on top? In some pics it looks like there are some chopped up and mixed through?

        No, I just used a few as a garnish. You could certainly throw some in if you like though!

      Where can you find pumpkin puree?? Can you use pumpkin pie filling instead??

        Hi, Carol! Pumpkin puree is just canned pumpkin. Some people use this for pie filling, but it’s not labeled pumpkin pie filling (which will be sweetened). You can find it near all the pie fillings though in the baking aisle. Here’s an example that’s readily available in most grocery stores in the U.S. – http://amzn.to/1N7NSDs. It should say 100% Pure Pumpkin.

      I started making this recipe and got to the diced apple step only to realize my 3 year old and 8 year old grabbed the last apples yesterday for snack. Disappointed but added raisins instead. My kids and I loved it for breakfast. Looking forward to making it right next time with apples.

        Hi, Patricia! I just added a couple of pumpkin seeds to the top of each one before baking for presentation purposes. Let me know how they turn out for you!

      Thanks for this amazing recipe! Planning on trying it tomorrow. Where can I find flaxmeal? Any possible substitutes in case I can’t find it?

        Hi, Diana. Thanks! Most grocery stores carry flax seed or flax meal in the baking aisle or the “healthy” aisle. I usually find it by the baking powders/sodas. If you can’t find flax meal you can buy flax seed and grind it yourself in a small coffee grinder. If you can’t find either of those options, you can use chia seeds or really just leave it out…you might need to add an extra tbsp of oats if the mixture seems too liquidy. Let me know how it turns out!!

      I have been pondering the idea of combining both pumpkin AND apple in one recipe, and now that I see these perfect little fall bites I’m convinced its a very good idea! I loved you original strawberry oatmeal bites, I think you need to do an oatmeal bite recipe for every season, keep the goodness going 🙂
