This vegan beet pumpkin baked oatmeal combines all the best produce the season has to offer to make a meal that looks gorgeous and tastes even better!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
2. Mix chia seeds with milk/water and apple sauce and set aside.
3. Put the two pumpkin wedges on a parchment-covered baking tray and put in the oven (they need to be baked a little longer than the oatmeal).
4. In a medium-sized baking dish, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, dates, nuts, apple, red beet, ginger and carob powder.
5. Add the chia seed-water/milk mixture to the oat mixture and stir to combine well.
6. Put the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal has achieved the consistency you like and the pumpkin is soft.
7. Take the pumpkin out of the oven, then scrape the flesh off of the skin and mash with a fork. Season with the pumpkin spice (about 3/4 tsp).
8. Divide the oatmeal into two bowls, and serve topped with pumpkin mash (Some additional topping ideas include cinnamon, applesauce, milk, vegan yogurt, granola, nuts…the possibilities are endless!)
