Sticky-Bun Baked Oats

(3)

If you like the idea of a little something sweet for your weekend breakfast, this sticky-bun baked oats recipe could be the breakfast-dessert mashup you’ve been waiting for. While this breakfast with its warm spices and nutty pecan base is a tad sweeter than what we usually offer, a typical sticky bun can have upward of 17 grams of added sugar per serving. This version not only has less sugar, but you’ll also reap the benefits of 3 grams of fiber from oat flour.

  3. Gently pour the batter over the pecan mixture in the pan. Lightly coat a rubber spatula with baking spray; use it to spread the batter evenly. Bake until the top is dry and the edges are just pulling away from the pan sides, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
