Ingredients

For the Baked Oatmeal:

• 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
• 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)

Directions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish, such as an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan, to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, egg (or chia/flax egg), melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is evenly moistened.
4. Assemble the Baked Oatmeal: Pour the oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
5. Prepare the Pecan Topping: In a small saucepan on the stovetop (or in a microwave-safe bowl), melt together the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Once melted, stir in the pecans until they are well coated with the sweet, buttery mixture.
6. Add the Topping and Bake: Pour the pecan mixture over the oatmeal mixture, spreading it out evenly to cover the top. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. You can either scoop it out with a spoon or slice it into portions for a more pie-like presentation.
