Ingredients

  • ½ cup pecans, chopped (plus additional for garnish)
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 large or 3 medium bananas)
  • 3/4 cup milk (or almond milk, or another dairy-free milk), at room temperature
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or spray with nonstick cooking spray an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Spread chopped pecans on an ungreased baking sheet and toast for 4 to 6 minutes or until fragrant and light golden brown. Cool on baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together mashed banana, milk, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla; beat until smooth. Blend in oats, 1/2 cup toasted pecans, cinnamon, and salt; stir until mixture is well-combined.
  4. Spread oatmeal into prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until set and light golden brown on top. Allow to cool in the baking dish for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with optional garnishes: warm milk or cream drizzled over the top, additional toasted pecans, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.

Whether you use fresh or frozen cherries, nothing beats the smell of a freshly baked cherry cobbler wafting through the kitchen.

Cobbler topping is much less fussy than a pie crust and doesn’t require rolling the pastry, which makes it one of our go-to desserts when we’re craving a sweet treat!

But the best part is, this dish really is perfect any time of year –

it’s sweet and light enough for the warmer months, but hearty and comforting enough in the winter months,

which means we don’t need any excuse to whip it up, and neither do you!
