  • Add the oats. Fold in.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the baking dish.

  • Sprinkle the top of the dish with the reserved teaspoon of sugar, evenly.
  • Top with the chopped pecans.
  • Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until set up.
  • Allow this bake to sit and cool for about 10 minutes until cutting, this will allow it to firm up.
