Pumpkin Pie Blended Baked Oats
These Pumpkin Pie Baked Oats are blended to achieve a fluffy, cake-like consistency and topped with a crunchy layer of pecans and coconut sugar. They’re vegan, gluten-free, perfectly sweet, and wonderful as an easy yet cozy make-ahead breakfast to enjoy throughout the week!
By blending the oat mixture into the batter, we create a perfectly soft and fragrant oat cake that tastes like not-too-sweet pumpkin pie. The pecans and coconut sugar on top complement the texture and flavor perfectly.
What Are Blended Baked Oats?
Blended baked oats are made with almost exactly the same ingredients as regular baked oats, but as the name suggests, the oat mixture is blended into a batter before pouring it into the pan to bake. And the result is AMAZING. It transforms traditional baked oats into a soft, fluffy, cake-like texture!
How to Make Blended Baked Oats
It is SO easy to make blended baked oats—just add all of your ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend thoroughly before pouring into a greased baking dish. I find that baking blended oats at 350 F yields an amazing result every time.
