Tips

Can make these in muffin tin or loaf pan but adjust baking time as needed. Can freeze leftovers. I make into muffins if freezing.


Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with kitchen spray and set aside. Whisk oil, honey and maple syrup together by hand. Add eggs and pumpkin puree and mix well. Mix in vanilla and milk. Add spices, baking soda and salt. Fold in flour and oats just until combine. Add walnuts. Pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle oats on top. Bake until middle springs bake with lightly touched or a tooth pick comes out clean. Cool completely in dish, these are very delicate and then cut into 9 pieces.
