Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal
This pecan pie oatmeal makes a sweet and delicious breakfast that tastes just like the classic pie. The perfect dish for your next holiday brunch!
When it comes to breakfast, I am all about easy recipes that can be thrown together fast, even better if that breakfast tastes like dessert. That is why baked oatmeal is always at the top of my list, its filling enough to get you through the morning but also feels like you’re eating a warm oatmeal cookie for breakfast or in this case pecan pie!
You can serve this oatmeal with maple syrup but I highly recommend taking an extra few minutes and making the brown sugar syrup to really get that pecan pie effect. This is the perfect recipe to serve on a cozy fall morning, or your next holiday brunch.
How to make baked oatmeal?
Unlike a regular bowl of oatmeal that is cooked on the stovetop in water or milk and has to be stirred constantly, baked oatmeal is actually much easier.
All you need to do is stir the ingredients in a bowl, pour into a baking dish and bake! And when it come out of the oven, you have a soft and fluffy cake like dish.
Tips on making this recipe perfectly
If you prefer to make this dish the night before, fully bake the oatmeal and just rewarm in the oven the next morning. Mixing the ingredients the night before without baking, the oats will absorb all the liquid, and then will start to dry out. It's best if it is mixed and baked right away.
You can use gluten free oats if you prefer in this recipe, I like to use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oats.
Bake the oatmeal until the edges are lightly brown and it is set in the center, this usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
This dish is best served warm with a generous helping of the brown sugar syrup!
