This chocolate pecan pie baked oats recipe is packed with flavor and gooey pecan filling. These cute little single serve oatmeals remind me of one of the best Southern pecan pies I’ve had – a chocolate pecan pie. At the same time, they’re relatively low in sugar and contain a balance of complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein.
Blended baked oats are in my opinion the queen of the oats world. They take a little more time to cook but it’s a hands-off process and prep is super easy. They make a great meal prep or weekend breakfast, and even people who aren’t oat-lovers will love them because their texture is more similar to cake!
These chocolate pecan pie baked oats pairs roasted golden beets with simple ingredients like arugula, quinoa, and parmesan. As always, I’ve included a number of ingredient swaps for you to make this recipe work with your dietary needs or what you have in your pantry. It’s a pretty customizable one!
Instructions
Prepare your batter: add oats, pecans, baking powder, salt, and milk to blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into ramekins that have been sprayed with cooking spray; bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until desired doneness.
While oats are baking, mix filling – date syrup, pinch of salt, and pecans (amounts listed below in recipe card).
I will update this post with more substitutions later today, but you can use any plant-based milk with a tsp of cocoa powder if you don’t have the chocolate pecan milk!
