Ingredients for Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal for One

This healthy baked pecan pie oatmeal uses no oil, no butter, no milk, no added sugar, just clean ingredients. No bananas either like the typical.

Instant or Quick Oats
Unsweetened Almond Milk or regular milk if you wish.
Egg White for a slightly low calorie version without the cholesterol, since there’s no eggs in here. This also adds protein.
Non-fat Greek Yogurt for a creamy texture, and another bump of protein. To make a dairy free baked oatmeal recipe, replace this with Applesauce or Mashed Banana.
Maple Syrup: I recommend a stevia or monk fruit sweetened one for a sugar free and low calorie baked oatmeal recipe.
The essentials: Cinnamon and Baking Powder

Now for the Pecan Pie topping in this Single Serving Baked Oatmeal:

The maple pecan oatmeal topping uses healthy ingredients too – no corn syrup like the usual versions.

Chopped Pecans
A third of the egg white – this is what adds to the crunchy oatmeal
1:1 Sugar-free Brown Sugar Substitute like the one from Swerve, but regular brown sugar would be okay too
More sugar-free maple syrup
Vanilla Extract

This healthy baked pecan pie oatmeal uses no oil, no butter, no milk, no added sugar, just clean ingredients. No bananas either like the typical.

How to make Single Serve Pecan Pie Baked Oats

This baked pecan pie oatmeal is super easy to make – just a mix and bake.

First make the one serving baked oatmeal:

Start with preheating your oven to 350°F.
Grease a large ramekin or oven-safe dish with coconut oil or cooking spray. You want one that’s about 1½ cups or 12 ounces in volume.
In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: oats, cinnamon and baking powder

In a smaller bowl whisk all the wet ingredients – milk, yogurt, ⅔ of the egg white, maple syrup and vanilla
Pour mixture into the ramekin.
Bake for about 15 minutes. The top of the oats should be just set.

But that’s not it.

Then the maple pecan pie mixture

Wihisk all the pecan pie ingredients in a bowl: pecans, egg whites, brown sugar sub, maple syrup and vanilla.
Spread the mixture over the baked oats.
Now bake again for another 12-15 minutes.

An easy Maple Pecan Baked oatmeal for two?

Just double up the ingredients in this recipe, and divide the oatmeal and pecan mixtures in 2 ramekins.

Another option is to use a small oven-safe container like pyrex, but keep an eye on the baking time here.

Want a Protein Baked Oatmeal?

There’s Greek yogurt and egg whites in here for a high protein oatmeal recipe, but you can up that number even more with some vanilla protein powder in the oats mixture.

Be sure to avoid the maple syrup in this case or it might be too sweet, and also add about 1-2 tablespoons more of milk.

Can you store a Baked oats Recipe for One?

You can make ahead single serving baked oats and store them in the fridge; they’re freezer friendly too for when you want a breakfast meal prep.

Microwave it to reheat – about 45 seconds to a minute should be good.
