  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Top with a few extra pecan halves if desired.

Notes

For a nut-free version, substitute pecans with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Adjust sweetness to taste and add more milk for a creamier texture. Can add chocolate chips or dried fruits for variations.
