# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9- or 10-inch round dish lightly with grease. A deep pie dish works great too.
02 -
Stir together steel cut oats, chopped pecans, chai spice blend, salt, maple syrup, and raisins in a big bowl.
03 -
Add the milk, cream, vanilla, and butter to the bowl of dry mix. Stir until everything is combined smoothly.
04 -
Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish. Make sure the top is evened out.
05 -
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, and then evenly scatter it over the mixture in the baking dish.
06 -
Pop it in the middle of the oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the upper crust looks golden and crunchy.
07 -
Take it out, scoop into bowls, and pair it with toppings you like – maybe milk, maple syrup, cream, or fresh fruit.
# Notes:
01 -
If you’re using rolled oats instead of steel cut ones, cut the cooking time down to 30-40 minutes since they cook quicker.
