Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

5. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle pecans on top for a little extra crunch.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy it with a dollop of coconut yogurt or dairy-free whipped cream for an extra treat!

Tips for Success:

• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat for a quick breakfast on busy mornings!
