Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups milk regular or plant-based
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • ¾ tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup roasted pecans coarsely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine Oats and Milk. In four 8-oz. mason jars place equal amounts of the oats, milk and vanilla in each. (½ cup oats, ½ cup milk, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla in each.) Stir to mix well.
  2. Top with Sweetener. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup. Pour a quarter of this mixture in each of the jars over the oats. Refrigerate the oats for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Toast Pecans and Serve. Just before serving, toast pecans at 325 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Divide pecans and sprinkle in each jar. Serve with additional cinnamon and maple syrup, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • **This recipe can either be made in two larger mason jars, each holding two servings, or four smaller mason jars, each containing one single serving.
  • Prep-Ahead Instructions:
  • This recipe is perfect to prep ahead. Simply combine all of the ingredients, except the pecans, in a jar. Leave in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • Storage Directions:
  • Prepared jars will last in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • Recipe Tips
  •  
  • Get rolling. Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick or steel-cut oats for the best results.
  • Make it work. While maple syrup and brown sugar add to the classic flavor, you can easily change it up with different sweeteners.
  • Wait for it. Don't add the toasted pecans until you're about to dig into this brown sugar oatmeal recipe.
  • Add some fuel. An easy way to feel full longer is to include some optional add-ins, like protein powder, flax seeds, or chia seeds.
  • Go big. Whip up a double batch of this oatmeal and have breakfast taken care of all week.
