Ingredients

For the Baked Oatmeal:

  • 2 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free, if needed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon 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 Tablespoons butter vegan butter, or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons 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 & Prep. To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish (like an 8×8 or 9×9″ pan).
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Add Wet Ingredients. Pour in milk, syrup, egg or chia egg, melted butter/oil, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Pour oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  • Make Pecan Topping. 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 Oatmeal. Then, 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.
  • Serve & Store. Enjoy right away or cover and refrigerate 2-3 days. To reheat, you can pop this back into the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or you can simply microwave a few seconds to warm up. (I like to add a splash of milk when reheating.)

Notes

  • Chia Egg or Flax Egg: 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.
