How to Make Faux Pecan Pie With Oatmeal

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs with a fork.
Add 1 cup light corn syrup, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter or margarine, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined.
Stir in 2 cups rolled oats.
Pour the filling into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pie is puffed and the center is slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
