It is amazing how many different ways there are to make it. We’ve enjoyed baked oatmeal with all different kinds of fruit, pumpkin and even chocolate.
But I thought it would be fun to come up with something a tiny bit different this time. So, I present to you: Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal.
Usually I try to make my baked oatmeal recipes a little on the light and fluffy side, light and fluffy for baked oatmeal anyway. The texture comes out a bit more like pudding, but is still sturdy enough to be cut into pieces.
But that texture doesn’t make you think of pecan pie at all. So, this baked oatmeal has a few more eggs and has a texture that is a bit more rich than most of the other recipes I have created.
But with a healthy dose of oatmeal and a bit of yogurt tossed in, it won’t make you feel too guilty either. Your nutritionist and your taste buds will praise you for a job well done!
I don’t know why I haven’t given this a try before. If you think about it, the oatmeal goes perfectly with the sweet and nutty flavors of pecan pie.
So if you are looking for a breakfast that tastes like one of your favorite treats but you can feel good about eating, this is just the thing for you!

Just made this tonight and it’s delicious. The outside is chewy oatmeal and the center is like custard, with crispy pecans on top. Very good recipe! Thanks
I used half brown sugar and half maple syrup instead of the full brown sugar amount. Delicious!
