¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup milk of choice
2 large eggs
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
¼ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
In another bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
Top with toasted pecans if using.
Bake for approximately 30–34 minutes or until set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
