Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 large egg
3/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup raisins

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside. Alternatively, line baking dish with parchment paper and then lightly spray. (The parchment makes cleanup a breeze and allows you to remove the oatmeal before cutting into squares.)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the remaining ingredients (egg, pumpkin, milk, maple syrup, Truvia Brown Sugar, vanilla and raisins) until well mixed.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into 12 squares.
Enjoy at room temperature, warmed in the microwave, or right from the refrigerator.
Leftover squares can be wrapped individually with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container.

This recipe can easily be adapted by substituting craisins for the raisins, or leaving them out entirely. Add some chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips for a great lunchbox treat. (Be sure to adjust your WW Points when making any ingredient substitutions.)

Make these oatmeal squares vegan-friendly by substituting the egg with 1/4 cup of carbonated water. Alternatively you can replace the egg with 2 tablespoons water + 2 teaspoons baking powder + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
