Banana Pecan Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup chopped Fisher Pecans, plus more for serving if desired
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups well mashed ripened bananas
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 2/3 cup milk, plus more for serving if desired
• 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving if desired
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and keep it nearby.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the oats with the pecans, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
3. In another bowl, stir the mashed bananas together with the lemon juice. Add the milk, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture looks nicely blended.
4. Stir in the coconut oil. Add the milk mixture to the oat mixture and stir until everything is combined. Transfer it all to the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake until the oatmeal has set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with milk, extra pecans and maple syrup if desired.
