Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add pecans and salt, toast 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1 tbsp water over pecans. Stir until sugar melts and glazes the nuts, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in milk, add oats, and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Ladle into a bowl, scooping extra sticky pecans on top. Serve hot.

Notes

The oatmeal will thicken as it sits, so if it gets too stiff after resting, stir in a little more milk before serving. For extra gooey bites, sprinkle a few additional pecans on top after ladling.
