Toasted Pecan Oat Pie
Budget bites, basic baking!
Like all of you, we’re on a budget this holiday season.
Pecans are pricey, so we’re substituting half of them with crunchy toasted oats in this recipe to cut down on cost. We also added in an extra egg (cause that’s what we do) to keep the pie extra ooey gooey. We’re loving this twist on a traditional pecan pie!
What you need:
1 store bought frozen pie crust
3/4 cup toasted pecan pieces
3/4 cup toasted old fashioned oats
4 eggs
1/2 stick of butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup karo syrup (light or dark)
Directions:
Toast your pecans and oats in a saucepan over low heat. Once fragrant, remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, and karo. Fold in the oats and pecans. Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the filling has almost set.
