Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.

Add in the cranberries and mix.

Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chopped pecans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

While that's baking, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients.

Whisk together the ingredients for the maple glaze. Start off with just 1 tsp of milk and add more to your desired consistency. If it gets too runny, just add more powdered sugar.

Once the oatmeal is done, let it cool for 20 minutes then add the glaze. You don't have to let it cool, but the glaze seeps right in if you don't, which is fine at my house ;)

Enjoy!
