2 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats quick oats will work, too
1/4 cup ground flaxseed sub: more oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup honey sub: pure maple syrup. You can adjust the amount for your desired sweetness.
2 tablespoons avocado oil sub: melted coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup milk your choice
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Optional: 1/4 – 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
In medium bowl, whisk together the honey, butter/coconut oil, pumpkin, milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Stir until combined. Then, stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes (or until the edges are firm and the middle is still a little soft).
Serve warm in a bowl with your favorite cut-up fruit (i.e. bananas, strawberries, raspberries) and milk on top.

Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free oats.
Dairy-Free Version: Use non-dairy plain milk like almond milk or oat milk. Use dairy-free chocolate chips, like Enjoy Life brand.
Can I use steel cut oats instead? Yes, you will need to bake it longer, until the middle is set. Check for doneness with a toothpick. It will likely take about 30 minutes.
