- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 cups milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 egg (or 1 chia or flax egg* for vegan)
- 2 Tbsp. butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
For the Pecan Topping:
- 2 Tbsp. butter or vegan butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup pecans (roughly chopped or whole)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish (like an 8×8 or 9×9″ pan).
- In a large bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour in milk, syrup, egg or chia egg, melted butter/oil, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Pour oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan on the stovetop (or in a microwave-safe bowl), melt together 2 Tbsp. butter and 1/4 cup syrup. Add the pecans and stir to coat.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the oatmeal mixture and smooth out with your spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal has plumped and the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let stand about 5 minutes before scooping or slicing.
Notes
*To make a chia egg, combine 1 Tbsp. chia egg + 3 Tbsp. water. Whisk together and let it sit a few minutes to gel and thicken. Whisk again once before adding to the recipe.
