Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- 2In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- 3In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- 5Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and golden brown around the edges. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
- 6Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh mixed berries before serving. Serve warm, optionally with an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of milk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, easily! Simply use a non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) and substitute the butter with coconut oil or another plant-based fat.
Can I prepare this the night before?
You can mix all the ingredients, pour them into the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply bake as directed, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
What other fruits can I use?
Diced apples, sliced bananas, or dried cranberries and raisins would also be delicious additions. If using dried fruit, you might want to add them in with the dry ingredients.
