Baked Fig and Date Oatmeal with Pecan Streusel

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Combine the chopped pecans, 1 tablepoon of the raw sugar and the arrowroot in a small bowl. Place the butter in a deep 8-inch pie dish and put it into the oven for 5 minutes, just until the butter has melted. Swirl the melted butter around the pan to grease it, then scoop out 2 teaspoons of the butter and add to the pecan mixture. Stir the pecan mixture together and then set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, chopped dates and remaining 1/4 cup of raw sugar. Add the egg, milk and remaining melted butter to the bowl then stir together well. Pour the mixture into the buttered pie dish and decorate with the sliced figs. Sprinkle the pecan streusel mixture over top.

Step 4

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until browned around the edges and set. Cut into wedges and serve warm or room temperature with yogurt and fresh fruit.
