Is that what staying out at the beach does to you?
Perhaps that’s why beach vacations are so popular? Something about watching the sunrise over the water makes you want to slow down and take everything in.
This morning was a slow Sunday morning. Sadie and I awoke before everyone else and while I enjoyed the quiet, I made vanilla pecan baked oatmeal for everyone to enjoy when they awoke, along with scrambled eggs and Canadian bacon.
The vanilla pecan baked oatmeal was very easy to throw together and incorporated simple yet delicious and nutritious ingredients.
It was a hit all around!

Description
The vanilla pecan baked oatmeal was very easy to throw together and incorporated simple yet delicious and nutritious ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 ounces honey Greek yogurt (I used OIKOS)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine oats, pecans, chia seeds and baking soda
- Add yogurt, vanilla, almond milk, honey and egg and stir until everything is combined
- Pour everything into an 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and bake for approximately 40 minutes
- Allow to cool and top with jelly, fresh berries, milk, nuts, banana slices or syrup
Notes
I topped mine with a bit of jelly, but you can top it with fresh berries, nuts, milk, brown sugar, banana slices or simply eat it plain.

This dish disappeared in a flash in our house!
Now we’re off to church. I hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday!

Oh yum, looks really good. Just pinned it to try myself. I’m no cook but this is another recipe that looks pretty simple to make. Hubby doesn’t like nuts so I’ll probably skip the pecans.
Yum! Loving baked oatmeal at the moment, so handy to have prepared! You ever tried pecan nut butter? If you’re a pecan fan you’d love it!
YUM! that looks so good! I think taking a little extra time in the morning is also a sign of being relaxed and at ease, even if it’s just while we’re sipping a cup of coffee.
Wow! This looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh man this looks good. Way better than my attempt at baked oatmeal last week!
Looks delicious! I have yet to try baked oatmeal… It seems like a great breakfast for a group of people, so I’m thinking I’ll make it when my family comes into town for Thanksgiving. Even that jam looks so yummy!
Yummm that looks so good!
This looks delicious..great for making in advance as a grab-and-go brekkie!
I’ve never tried baked oatmeal before! Looks yummy.
And you’re right.. Sometimes you have to slow down and savor.
Looks delicious! Especially with the blueberry!
This recipe looks so delicious! I would have never thought of it! Im glad that you are enjoying your Sunday 🙂
Mmm, that looks & sounds delicious!! Glad you’re enjoying a nice, relaxing morning at your parents’ place! 🙂
I’ve never actually made baked oatmeal, but it looks good, especially with the jam on top! I hope you have a great Sunday with your family!
Yummy! I will have to try that soon and top with some pumpkin butter that I bought at Trader Joe’s.
Slow Sunday mornings are the best… especially when they involve PJ’s, coffee, and baked oatmeal 😀
Looks yummy! Pecans are always a favorite in anything for me. Our Sunday mornings are always hectic trying to get up, get ready and out the door to church on time. Most days we can then relax after.
This looks really good, Julie! I wish my husband was a little more open-minded about trying new, healthy recipes. I offered him a bite of my overnight oats this morning and he replied “Ew. No. It looks like puke.” Oh well! More for me! 🙂
Look Julie – you made it on an Italian wedding blog – which I found through pintrest!

How many servings is this? I would like to make it for myself, not a group!
Yum! Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts!
This looks delicious….hmmm maybe I could add this to my Thanksgiving list. 🙂
That looks sooo yummy. I’d eat the oatmeal with pumpkin butter. Might have to try this in the am 🙂 Love your recipes because they’re never complicated and they always have a lot of good, filling ingredients.
Okay, so if you can get me to STOP making your baked apple oatmeal for breakfast, maybe I’d be able to give this one a shot. 🙂 I’m telling you now that this will be no easy feat.
Yum! Love the sound of this flavour- I’m yet to try baked oatmeal 😉
Looks delicious. Which church do you go to?
This looks great! We love your coconut pecan baked oatmeal in this house 🙂
This looks amazing! I love baked oatmeal. Such a great option if you do not have a lot of time in the morning or if you just want something warm and comforting.
so yummy! i can’t wait to try that 🙂

Baked oatmeal is one of my faves when the weather gets cooler! Now if only Texas would get the memo that fall is supposed to be here! 😉
Thanks for the recipe, it sounds delicious! I was wondering thought, I just recently found out I have a dairy allergy so I’m not good with substituting things yet (esp greek yogurt…oh how I miss it!) for this recipe do you have any recommendations? I’m trying coconut Greek-style yogurt currently although it’s not really the same would it work you think? Sorry for the probably silly question!
i would try applesauce!!
Didn’t think of that silly me 😛 Thanks!
this looks delicious! I totally have to make this next week when my friend from Germany is here for Thanksgiving!!
I have never made baked oatmeal before, but after seeing this, I think I will soon!
I love relaxing Sundays that allow me to just take my time and enjoy the moment 🙂 That breakfast bake looks mighty tasty too!
Hi!
I was just wondering if you had the nutritional breakdown on this recipe? It looks fantastic!
This looks like the perfect weekend breakfast! I’ll have to try it out sometime!
Love baked oatmeal and it’s good for a crowd in the morning!
sad to see you never mention veterans day on your blog. all the hlb’s i follow didn’t either.. 🙁
This looks amazing… I’m soooo all over this tomorrow morning.
This was surprisingly good. I was a bit skeptical, since it has no fat in it and hardly any sugar (I subbed a pureed old banana for honey), but it made for a tasty dinner (I’m single, so I can have breakfast for dinner and nobody bats an eye!). I threw a mess of raw pumpkin seeds on top for a pleasant crunch. Yum! Thanks, Julie! This is the first recipe of yours that I have tried, after reading your blog for the last few weeks. I found you while searching for smoothie recipes online, and kept reading because I appreciate your upbeat attitude and good grammar (I’m a high school English teacher). Your blog has been giving me that extra umph to get off the couch and workout after I get home from work. 🙂
How many people does this recipe serve?
I only have plain greek yogurt; have you tried this before in this recipe? If not, what would you recommend using instead?
hi. love your recipes, you have open my mind about oatmeal. I have a question about this recipe, how can I substitute the yogurt since I am lactose intolerant. thanks for a great site!
