Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Drizzle the melted butter or coconut oil evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
- Let it cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm.
Notes
- You can prepare the dry ingredients the night before and store them in the baking dish. Add the wet ingredients in the morning before baking.
- For extra flavor, add a handful of dried cranberries or raisins with the oats.
- If you prefer a softer topping, mix the melted butter with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar before drizzling.
