Cranberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal
Description
Cranberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal blends rolled oats, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries with warm spices like cinnamon. The mixture is combined with milk, egg, maple syrup, and orange zest, then baked until set and golden on top. The baking process softens the oats while preserving some chewiness, and the pecans add crunch.
The orange zest and cranberries provide bright fruity notes, balancing the oatmeal's earthiness. Served with a topping of maple syrup-whisked Greek yogurt, it adds a creamy, tangy contrast that complements the dish’s natural sweetness.
This baked oatmeal is best enjoyed warm, cut into portions. It suits a breakfast or brunch where you want a make-ahead hearty dish that can feed several people with minimal hands-on time.
The recipe recommends using rolled oats for the ideal texture, as quick oats will alter the consistency and may become too soft during baking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup pecans roughly chopped, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 cups milk 2%
- ½ cup maple syrup divided
- 1 orange zested
- 1 cup cranberries
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the oats, pecans, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in an oven-safe 8x11-inch baking dish.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, ¼ cup maple syrup, and orange zest. Pour over the oat mixture and fold in the cranberries. Gently press down to make sure all the oats are covered with the wet mixture.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the top of the oatmeal is golden and the mixture is set, about 35-40 minutes. Remove and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the remaining maple syrup with the greek yogurt. Serve the oatmeal with a dollop of the maple greek yogurt. (Slice in half lengthwise, then in 4s to make 8 pieces)
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats do not produce the same consistency.
