Combine together the ground flax seed and water together. Set aside until gelled.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 8" square pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine together the oats, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. Stir until well combined and mixed.
Add in the flax seed mixture, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut milk and pumpkin. Stir until well combined and then add in the pecans.
Place the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan and evenly smooth out the top. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and set.
Eat as is OR how I eat it: scoop out the baked oatmeal into a bowl and top with fresh fruit and more almond milk. The contrast of warm oatmeal and cold milk is so, so, so good.
