Baked oatmeal recipes are awesome. They are a great way of enjoying a warm breakfast that is as nutritious as tiramisu overnight oats, as delicious as vegan blueberry breakfast bars, but that is warm and comforting.

This vegan baked oatmeal is the simple version of my Lemon Blueberry Baked Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal, or Strawberry Baked Oatmeal.

Ingredients and Substitutions for Vegan Baked Oatmeal

All you need are:

• Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – you can use quick oats too but the texture is better with large pieces of oats.
• Chia Seeds or flaxseed if preferred. Feel free to use white chia seeds or black chia seeds both have the same properties.
• Yogurt of Choice or Nut Butter – I like coconut yogurt or soy yogurt for a boost of protein.
• Banana – if you don’t like bananas, you can use the same amount of unsweetened apple sauce, pumpkin puree, or sweet potato puree.
• Cinnamon – for flavor.
• Mixed Berries – fresh or frozen.

It’s super easy to make a one-pan baked oatmeal that is vegan and nutritious.

How To Make High Protein Vegan Baked Oatmeal

There are many ways to add proteins to your baked oatmeal by adding:

• 1/4 cup of peanut butter or almond butter
• 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite plant-based protein powder – it will dry out the recipe a bit so you’ll need to balance that by adding 1/4 cup of extra almond milk.
• 1/4 cup of hemp seeds.
• 1/4 cup of protein yogurt – if so reduce almond milk by 1/4 cup.

Flavoring Baked Oatmeal

You can create a range of baked oatmeal flavors by changing some ingredients in the recipe.

• Use different fruits – apple cubes, strawberries, peaches, blueberries.
• Use nut butter – almond butter or chocolate nut butter for a chocolate flavor.
• Add cocoa powder.
• Stir in some spices like pumpkin spices.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

• ▢ 2 ripe Banana
• ▢ ½ cup Dairy-Free Yogurt - (note 1)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
• ▢ 2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats - (note 2)
• ▢ 1 ½ cups Unsweetened Almond Milk - (note 3)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
• ▢ 2 cups Mixed Berries - (note 4)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly oil a 9-inch x 11-inch baking pan.
• Peel the bananas, place them in the baking pan and mash them roughly until they are smooth and a puree-like texture forms.
• Add chia seeds, yogurt, cinnamon, rolled oats, almond milk, and half the amount of frozen berries.
• Stir gently to evenly combine all the ingredients into the baking pan.
• Sprinkle the remaining frozen berries on top of the pan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set but still moist in the center. You can bake it longer if you prefer a dryer oatmeal texture, it's up to you.
• Cool down in the pan for 20 minutes then serve lukewarm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dust of cinnamon, or almond milk/yogurt for extra moisture.

Notes

Note 1: Any plant-based yogurt works, like coconut yogurt, soy yogurt, or cashew yogurt. You can swap the plant-based yogurt with mashed banana, applesauce, or pumpkin puree.

Note 2: Rolled or quick oats work. I don’t recommend steel-cut oats, as their texture isn’t as creamy.

Note 3: You can use your favorite plant-based milk, like almond milk, cashew milk, or oat milk. I prefer an unsweetened version to make it easier to balance the sweetness. 

Note 4: You can use fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries), or frozen berries.

Storage: Store the remaining baked oats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in its baking pan, wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent the oatmeal from drying. You can also freeze this banana blueberry baked oatmeal in an airtight container and thaw it in the fridge the day before. Rewarm one serving in the microwave, in a microwave-safe breakfast bowl, until lukewarm.
