Ingredients
For the Pecan Pie Layer:
- 4 teaspoons chopped pecans plus additional for garnish
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened vanilla almond milk
For the Oatmeal:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions
- In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the pecans, stirring frequently, until “toasty” smelling. This only takes 1-3 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the coconut sugar, maple syrup, and almond milk.
- Microwave until the mixture darkens and the coconut sugar is melted, only about 40-50 seconds. Be careful not to overcook it or it will turn into caramel! It should still be quite fluid.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and divide the mixture between 2 glasses.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oatmeal and cinnamon. Add in the almond milk and stir to combine.
- Divide the oatmeal mixture between the 2 glasses. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with additional pecans (if desired) and enjoy.
