pie oats mock pecan pie

Sometimes called "mock pecan pie." The oats stand in for pecans, and the texture and flavor come out surprisingly close.

Ingredients

1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Pinch of salt (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Beat the eggs. Mix in both sugars, the melted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Add the salt and cinnamon if using.
Stir in the oats last.
Pour into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake 45-50 minutes, until the center is just set and no longer jiggly. It will puff up a bit and settle as it cools.
Let cool before slicing so it firms up.
