# Ingredients:
→ Porridge
01 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
02 -
Pinch of salt
03 -
½ cup cream or use extra milk instead
04 -
2/3 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
05 -
1 cup steel-cut oats
06 -
2 tablespoons maple syrup
07 -
2 teaspoons chai spice mix
08 -
2 cups milk
09 -
2 tablespoons melted butter
10 -
½ cup raisins (optional)
→ Sweet Cinnamon Mix
11 -
¼ teaspoon cinnamon spice
12 -
2 tablespoons white sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9- or 10-inch round baking dish with some grease. A pie plate with high edges works great here.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, toss together the steel-cut oats, chopped pecans, chai mix, maple syrup, raisins, and salt.
03 -
Stir in the milk, cream, melted butter, and vanilla. Give it a good stir so everything's evenly mixed.
04 -
Pour the wet and dry mixture into the greased baking dish. Smooth the top so it bakes evenly.
05 -
Mix the cinnamon with the sugar. Sprinkle this mixture on top, spreading it out evenly.
06 -
Pop the dish in the oven's center rack and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top turns golden and has a nice crunch.
07 -
Take the dish out of the oven, scoop portions into bowls, and enjoy! Add toppings like fresh fruit, milk, more syrup, or cream if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
If you swap steel-cut oats with rolled oats, bake for 30-40 minutes since they cook more quickly.
