Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats *
- 1 cup unsweetened plain plant milk
Glazed Pecans:
- ¾ cup pecan halves
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup (+/-)
Base Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup (+/-) *
- ¼ cup plain unsweetened plant yogurt (or vanilla yogurt) *
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut *
- ½ cup chopped glazed pecans (from above) *
- 1 teaspoon vanilla *
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (+/-) *
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
Toppings:
- Chopped glazed pecan
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Place the rolled oats and unsweetened plain plant milk into a bowl, mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Make the glazed pecans. Place the pecan halves into a medium-sized nonstick skillet and dry toast them over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir them around the pan to ensure they do not burn.
- When the pecans are nicely toasted (fragrant), moved them to the center of the skillet and drizzle maple syrup on top of the pecans. The maple syrup should immediately bubble up. With a spatula toss the pecans until all the sides of the pecan are completely coated. This only takes about 30 seconds. Remove the glazed pecans from the pan and immediately dump onto a plate to cool down. Once cooled, stored in a contain until ready to use. Chop the pecans before adding to the oat mixture and topping.
- Just before serving add all the Base Ingredients (including 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans) and mix thoroughly with the Overnight Oat mixture.
- Place the oat mixture into 2 glass jars or serving cups, top with chopped glazed pecans and sprinkle with some shredded coconut. Enjoy!
