1/4cupmolassesregular, not blackstrap
1/3cupmaple syrup
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/3cuproughly chopped pecans
1/2cupfresh or frozen cranberries
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin pie spice mix, salt, and baking powder and set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, canned pumpkin, milk, molasses, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Add the cranberries and nuts and mix again.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to incorporate everything.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover lightly with foil and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350℉ and set the rack to the middle position.Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to allow the top to brown lightly.
Let the baked oatmeal cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, prepare this the night before, refrigerate, and bake it in the morning. If desired, use dried cranberries instead of fresh or frozen cranberries. Refrigerate leftovers for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
