Ingredients

Scale

Baked Oatmeal

  • 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg or 1 chia or flax egg (for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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 bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the almond milk, maple syrup, egg (or chia/flax egg), melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir everything thoroughly until fully combined. Then pour this oatmeal mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  4. Make Pecan Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and maple syrup together. Stir in the pecans, ensuring they are fully coated with the mixture. Spread the pecan topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture. Smooth it out gently with a spatula.
  5. Bake Oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal has puffed up and the top turns a golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes to set before serving.
  6. Serve & Store: Enjoy the baked oatmeal warm right away. To store, cover and refrigerate for 2-3 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk and warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or microwave for a few seconds.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use a chia or flax egg instead of a chicken egg.
  • Certified gluten-free oats ensure the recipe is safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk as preferred.
  • When reheating, adding a bit of milk keeps the oatmeal moist and creamy.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated, making it ideal for meal prep.
