Really, I’ve found that you can use any size baking dish here. A 13×9″ baking dish like what I used will give you a dry more crunchy oatmeal while a smaller/deeper dish will give you one that is more cake-like. The bake time may be adjusted slightly if using a smaller deeper dish.
In a large bowl, beat together the 1/2 C. Light Butter and 2 Whole Large Eggs.
Add in the 1/3 C. Brown Sugar/Sweetener Blend, 1 1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder, 1 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract, 1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon, and 1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt until no lumps remain.
Add the 1 C. Milk and stir to combine.
Finally, add the 3 C. Oatmeal and stir well.
Pour the mixture out into the prepared baking dish, cover and set in the fridge overnight.
Once the oatmeal has set overnight, remove it from the fridge and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the baking dish in the oven to bake for about 30-45 minutes or until the edges are starting to brown and the oatmeal has set.
While the oats are baking, combine 1 C. pecans, 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 Tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 Tsp. vanilla and nutmeg in a medium skillet over a medium-high heat until toasted and well combined, about 3-4 minutes; set aside.
When it’s done, remove from the oven and top with the candied pecan topping before dividing evenly into 12 pieces to enjoy!
