These soft, tender baked oatmeal cups are packed with pumpkin spice flavor and studded with melted chocolate chips. Perfect for a grab-and-go fall breakfast or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (67g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the rest for the tops.
  6. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  7. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling almost to the top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and press them in gently.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden, and the tops spring back when pressed.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip the rest time—it ensures a tender texture. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overbake; oatmeal cups continue to set as they cool. Line the muffin tin for easy removal. Let cool completely before storing.
