Makes

8 servings

Serving size

1 square

Ingredients

½ cup pecans, chopped

Cooking spray

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon sea salt

2 cups milk

¼ cup maple syrup

1 large egg

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh)

Special Equipment:

8 x 10 inch baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 375°F.
  2. Pour pecans onto a 9-inch, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Toast for 4 to 5 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Spray an 8 x 10-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  4. Combine the oats, toasted pecans, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  5. Combine the milk, maple syrup, egg, half of the butter and vanilla in a separate mixing bowl. Whisk until blended.
  6. Arrange ½ frozen berries evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish (no need to defrost frozen fruit first).
  7. Cover the fruit with the dry oat mixture. Drizzle the wet ingredients over the oats.
  8. Wiggle the baking dish to make sure the milk moves down through the oats. Pat down any dry oats resting on top.
  9. Scatter the remaining berries across the top.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is nice and golden.
  11. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on the top before serving.
  12. Cut into 8 even squares and serve one square per portion.

Cooking Tip

You can cut out the squares and freeze individually in aluminum foil. Un-thaw by removing foil and heating in a microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at 325°F for 5 minutes or until it heats to your desired temperature.
