All the flavors of pecan pie in a warm, comforting baked oatmeal. A maple-glazed pecan topping makes this easy breakfast taste like dessert.

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. In an 8x8-inch or 2-quart baking dish, stir together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Spread into an even layer in the baking dish.

  4. 4

    Make the pecan topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pecans, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and the syrup thickens slightly, 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour the pecan topping evenly over the oatmeal in the baking dish.

  6. 6

    Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the oatmeal is set and puffed slightly.

  7. 7

    Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup and topped with vanilla yogurt or whipped cream if desired.
