Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir thoroughly until all components are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chopped pecans on top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top becomes golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before slicing into portions. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with additional maple syrup for extra richness.
Notes
- For extra richness, drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving.
- To make this recipe fully dairy-free, substitute dairy-free milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
