Cooking spray
2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
⅔ cup almond flour
⅓ cup coconut flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice see notes to make your own
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups milk any milk will do, I like unsweetened almond milk
½ cup canned or homemade pumpkin puree
¼ cup maple syrup plus more if you prefer a sweeter oatmeal cup, see notes
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup optional mix-ins mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries, etc.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray, and set aside.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add in the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, avocado oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Fold in the mix-ins, if using, until well distributed.
Spoon mixture evenly into prepared muffin tin. Use the spoon to lightly pat down the cups so they are flat on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let cool completely before removing from the tin.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days, or freeze flat on a baking sheet, and then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.

You can buy premade pumpkin pie spice in the spice aisle of most major supermarkets. Or, you can make your own pumpkin pie spice by combining 1 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves.
This recipe calls for ¼ cup maple syrup for sweetener, which gives you a lightly sweet oatmeal cup. If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add in 1-4 tablespoons additional maple syrup.
