Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups milk of choice I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg or 1 Tablespoon of ground flaxseed
  • 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas sliced OR ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 ½ cups Chopped Pecans divided OR your choice of mix-ins (a blend of nuts, fruit and/or chocolate)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F and spray an 8×8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add in the milk, maple syrup, egg, coconut oil, vanilla and bananas. Stir to combine.
  4. Add in 1 cup pecans and mix to combine.
  5. Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Scatter the remaining pecans across the top.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Portion and serve. Drizzle each portion with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter.

Notes

  • Oil – You can skip the oil or swap it with another oil, melted butter (or ghee) or even applesauce or mashed banana.
  • Maple syrup – Any liquid sweetener like honey, agave, brown sugar or monk fruit maple syrup will work instead of maple syrup.
  • Baking powder – If you don't have baking powder or simply want to skip it, you certainly can. I've made baked oatmeal before without baking powder and its turned out just fine.
  • Pecans – Feel free to swap the nuts with your favorite mix-in of choice. Fresh fruit, dried fruit, chocolate chips and nuts are all great options. You can use one mix-in or a few... it's totally up to you!
