    This Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal tastes like a traditional pecan pie dessert. It's perfect during the fall and winter months.

    When the holidays roll around, I love experimenting with oatmeal that tastes like dessert, sans the fat. DSC_0093

    This Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal screams winter! DSC_0043

    I am excited to share this recipe with you because this oatmeal turned out better than I expected, and the secret to this delectable breakfast are the candied pecans.

    The high heat of the pecans slowly melts into the hot oatmeal and gives it that beautiful caramel color. DSC_0126

    Since I prefer my oatmeal creamy, I top it with some more Almond Milk. You can never have enough Almond Milk if you ask me. DSC_0083

    This creamy bowl of Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal is not only healthy and delicious, but decadent too. I could eat this one all year. Try it, hope I win you over!DSC_0154

    Ingredients
      

    for the oatmeal

    • ½ cup old-fashioned oats
    • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • 1 cup water
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla

    for the candied pecans

    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
    • ½ cup pecans
    • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla

    Instructions
     

    • For the oatmeal, heat up a pot on low-medium heat, add oats, almond milk and water.
    • Add ground cinnamon and vanilla.
    • Stir. Keep stirring frequently.
    • Ten minutes later you will have this.
    • And another ten minutes later you will have this, you want a thick and creamy consistency.
    • For the Candied Pecans, heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add coconut oil.
    • Add pecans. Stir the pecans so they are coated with oil. Once a little toasty, just a couple minutes, go to the next step.
    • Add the maple syrup... there will be sizzling. Keep stirring.
    • Top with cinnamon and vanilla. Stir. They will start to caramelize.
    • Keep stirring the pecans around until they are sticky. Remove from heat. The entire process will take less than 5 minutes. Stay close, otherwise the pecans will burn.
    • Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with ⅓ - ½ the pecan amount. Drizzle some almond milk on top. Enjoy!

    Notes

    * You can use butter instead of coconut oil, the flavor will be richer, but I loved coconut oil.
    ** The candied pecans portion is enough for 2-3 people, definitely not for 1 serving.
