Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla until well combined.

- Pour the mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you're looking for a gluten-free alternative, you can substitute the pie crust with a gluten-free version. Make sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing, as this helps it set properly. This recipe is a great way to utilize oats in a dessert, reminiscent of traditional pecan pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For an extra touch, drizzle some caramel sauce on top or serve alongside a slice of Creamy Chocolate Mousse for a decadent dessert experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of syrup?
Yes, you can substitute dark corn syrup with light corn syrup or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary slightly, so adjust the sugar accordingly if needed.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it well. This allows the flavors to meld, and you can serve it cold or reheat it just before serving.
Can I add nuts to this recipe?
While this is a no pecan pie, you can certainly add other nuts if desired. Chopped walnuts or almonds could provide a nice crunch. Just mix them in with the oats before pouring the mixture into the pie crust.
