Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup chopped pecans, divided
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk of choice
½ cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract (or additional vanilla extract)
2 cups fresh or frozen berries, divided
For serving: Greek yogurt, whipped cream, additional butter, additional maple syrup, additional berries, sliced banana, additional pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, ¼ cup pecans, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir milk mixture into oat mixture.
Sprinkle 1 ½ cups berries in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour oat mixture over top and spread to cover in an even layer. Top with remaining ½ cup berries and remaining ¼ cup of pecans.
Bake until bubbly and set, about 30-35 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

This recipe yields 4 very large servings, or 6-8 smaller servings. If you’re serving a larger crowd, I recommend doubling the ingredients and baking in a 9 x 13-inch pan. You may need to increase the baking time to 35-40 minutes.
Use frozen berries if you don't have fresh berries on hand. You do NOT need to thaw the frozen berries before adding them to the dish.
Instead of pecans, you can substitute with almonds, walnuts, or chopped hazelnuts.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute with cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.
I love the taste of almond extract in this dish, but you can substitute with additional vanilla extract if you prefer.
For a delicious twist on this oatmeal casserole, try substituting sliced bananas, diced apples or sliced peaches for the berries.
