Ingredients

Scale

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 (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg or 1 chia or flax egg (for vegan option)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Pecan Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup pecans (roughly chopped or whole)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat 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. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, egg (or chia/flax egg for vegan), melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Transfer the oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  4. Make Pecan Topping: Melt the butter and maple syrup together in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until combined. Add the pecans and stir to coat them evenly with the butter-syrup mixture. Pour this pecan topping evenly over the oatmeal in the baking dish and smooth out with a spatula.
  5. Bake Oatmeal: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal has puffed up and the top looks golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve & Store: Enjoy the baked oatmeal warm right away, or cover and refrigerate for 2-3 days. To reheat, warm portions in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or microwave briefly, optionally adding a splash of milk to maintain moisture.

Notes

  • To make a chia egg, mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water; whisk and let sit for several minutes until it gels, then whisk again before using.
  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to keep the recipe vegan or dairy-free.
  • Add extra chopped pecans to the oatmeal mixture before baking for additional texture and flavor.
  • The baked oatmeal can be prepared the night before; refrigerate it uncovered or loosely covered, apply the pecan topping before baking in the morning.
  • Use sugar-free maple syrup as a substitute, but flavor may vary slightly.
  • This dish can be frozen in individual portions for easy reheating later.
