Pecan pie is such a wonderful way to start your day. This may taste like dessert, but it’s really a nutritious and hearty breakfast. We love it in the fall, but it is delicious and filling way to start any day.
Pecan pie doesn’t have to be reserved for the dessert table. This yummy baked oatmeal recipe gives you those flavors in a yummy and healthier breakfast form.
It is a perfect way to start your Thanksgiving, or any day for that matter. Your taste buds will thank you!

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!

Really, it looks divine, Carlee!
Thank you so much, Mollie! I hope you find a good excuse soon!
I absolutely must make this!! It sounds wonderful!

Hi Carlee, I've made your baked banana oatmeal bread a couple of times now, and even served it as a warm pudding with vanilla ice cream the other evening. I am sure this recipe will be just as good as the banana one!

I am glad you like the banana one so much! I bet it is delicious with ice cream too. Thanks so much, Debbie!

Pecan heaven on a plate right there!! Love me my oats, so what a brilliant idea!! Happy weekend beautiful babe,good weather is coming!!
Heart shaped foods and oatmeal… we are meant to be friends for sure! Thank goodness for this lovely weather. We are enjoying plenty of time at the park and playing in the yard. It is so nice to not be so cooped up. I wonder how long it will last!
A pecan pie I could feel good about eating. Using extra eggs is a good thing. (My hens are good to me). And to think that I had the chance to try it but thought it would be too fattening. Guess I'll have to make it myself. I think I'll use honey and molasses instead of the brown sugar because that's how I roll these days.
You'll definitely have to give it a go! After making it, I did wonder to myself why I didn't go with maple syrup. I think that would be delicious as well!
