Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1/2 cup ripe banana, mashed Adds natural sweetness and moisture; swap with unsweetened applesauce for similar texture.
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée Provides that essential fall flavor and moisture; butternut squash purée can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Sweetens the dish; adjust according to your desired sweetness level.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil Adds richness and moisture; coconut oil offers a unique flavor twist.
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar A must for leavening; no substitutions necessary.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the flavor; maple extract can offer a delightful alternative.
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice Adds liquid for the oatmeal; use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats Serves as the base of the recipe; quick oats can be used, but may alter texture.
For the Flavor
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice Infuses the dish with cozy, fall flavors; a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg works as a substitute.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Essential for texture and rise; no replacements required.
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt Enhances overall flavor; use half the amount of table salt if needed.
For the Sweet Touch
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping Provide sweetness and richness; substitute with non-dairy chips to keep it vegan.

  3. Pour in the milk of your choice, followed by the rolled oats, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gently fold in half a cup of chocolate chips.
  4. Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the center appears set but slightly soft.
