Ingredients

For the Oats:

  • cup muesli or gluten-free rolled oats not quick or steel-cut. I use Bob Mills Old Country Style Muesli.
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch allspice less than ⅛ teaspoon
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or another plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey

For the Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons of pecans chopped
  • ½ tablespoon of pure maple syrup

Instructions

For the Oats:

  • Mix the Muesli, nut milk, spices, and maple syrup in a serving bowl.
  • Cover and leave to soak in the fridge overnight or 5 hours.

For the Topping:

  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the ingredients together and spread out on a baking tray. Bake for about 2 minutes, stir and bake an additional 2 minutes or until golden and crisp, watching carefully.
  • Skillet: Heat a small skillet over medium heat.
  • Combine ingredients and stir occasionally or until toasted and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the overnight oats between serving dishes or pots and top with a spoonful of yogurt, and pecan crumble.
  • A drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
