Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F
In a medium bowl, combine the steel cut oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix together
In a separate bowl whisk together milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted butter
Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid wet ingredients
Spray the 8"inch pie pan or 8"x8" baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour the oat mixture in to the baking dish and give a gentle shake to help spread the oats evenly across the bottom of the pan
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Check at 35 minutes, if the top is looking too brown, cover with foil and continue baking
Optional: after the baking is complete, I like to add some pecan halves and broil the top for just a few minutes to get the top extra brown. For extra texture, turbinado sugar could be sprinkled over the top for a brûléed effect.
For Pumpkin Spice Vanilla Whipped Cream
Add heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to the third bowl or a stand mixer bowl and beat with a whisk attachment until soft glossy peaks. Serve immediately over the top of the baked oats. Best to allow the oats to cool slightly.
