This Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal is a deliciously cozy breakfast that combines the wholesome goodness of rolled oats with the rich flavors of pecans and maple syrup.

It’s easy to prepare, gluten-free when using certified oats, and can be made vegan with simple substitutions.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (unsweetened almond milk preferred)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg (or 1 chia or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or vegan butter/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 mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, pure maple syrup, egg (or chia/flax egg), melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until fully incorporated. Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly.
  4. Make Pecan Topping: In a small saucepan on the stovetop or using a microwave-safe bowl, melt together 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Add the pecans and stir well to coat them. Immediately pour this pecan mixture over the oatmeal base and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake Oatmeal: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is puffed up and the topping is golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve & Store: Serve warm right away. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or microwave for a few seconds, adding a splash of milk to moisten if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a chia or flax egg and use vegan butter or coconut oil.
  • Certified gluten-free oats are important for those avoiding gluten.
  • Maple syrup provides natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor; honey or agave can be alternatives.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave; add milk when reheating to retain moisture.
  • You can use whole or roughly chopped pecans based on your texture preference.
