Winter Spice Baked Oatmeal with Pecan Streusel
Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly butter a 9 X 13 inch pan. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, spices, salt, baking powder, and chopped pecans. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon making sure the oats are thoroughly saturated with the liquid ingredients.
Pour the oat mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. While the oats bake, prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, brown sugar and flour until the pecans are coated with flour and sugar. Add the melted butter and maple syrup to the bowl and stir the ingredients together until a crumbly streusel forms.
After 10 minutes, remove the oatmeal from the oven and spread the streusel topping evenly over the top. Return oatmeal to the oven and continue to bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until the oatmeal is set in the middle and the streusel is lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Serve with cream and maple syrup drizzled on top, if desired.
