The Coziest Holiday Breakfast Treat
These sticky pecan gingerbread baked oats are here to make your mornings magical. Think warm, spiced gingerbread baked oats topped with a sticky, buttery pecan layer that’s sweet, crunchy, and oh-so-indulgent. It’s the perfect breakfast that doubles as dessert—or dare I say, Christmas morning perfection?
Picture this: a single bowl for the oats, a quick pecan topping made with melted butter, sugar-free syrup, and pecans, and then into the oven it goes. The result? A golden-brown exterior with a gooey, tender inside that will have you savoring every bite.
If you’re a fan of cozy, festive flavors, these gingerbread baked oats with sticky pecan topping will feel like a warm hug in a bowl. The spices bring a nostalgic holiday touch, while the crunchy pecan topping adds just the right amount of texture and sweetness.
And here’s the best part: it’s easy to make, requires minimal effort, and feels like a luxurious treat without any of the guilt. Underbake it slightly for a gooey center, or bake it fully for a more cake-like texture—either way, it’s a winner.
Whether you’re sharing this with family or keeping it all to yourself (no judgment here), these pecan gingerbread baked oats are bound to become your new cozy-season staple.
