Creating Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare Oat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir well to combine.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until well combined, ensuring that all oats are coated.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in any nuts and dried fruits if you’re using them, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
6. Transfer to Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top has firmed up and is lightly golden.
8. Cool: After baking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set up a bit more.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares or scoop into bowls.
