Faux Pecan Pie with Oatmeal
Indulge in the rich, caramelized flavors of this Faux Pecan Pie with Oatmeal—a creative twist on the classic Southern favorite that's perfect for pecan lovers and budget-conscious bakers alike.

With just 15 minutes of prep time, a buttery pie crust cradles the luscious oat-based filling, baked to golden perfection in under an hour. This dessert is ideal for holidays, potlucks, or anytime you crave the comforting warmth of pecan pie without the pecans.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup, packed Brown sugar
- 1 cup Corn syrup
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 store-bought or homemade, 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges as desired and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the butter is fully melted.
Stir the brown sugar and corn syrup into the melted butter until smooth.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, stirring well.
Fold the rolled oats into the filling mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the filling is set and golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This ensures the filling sets fully.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
