Vegan Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Berries
A recipe for baked vegan oatmeal with delicious berries. The ideal nutritious breakfast that is filling and fantastic for serving large groups! This version is both gluten-free and vegan.
It is real. From ninth through the eleventh school, I consumed one or two packets of quick oatmeal every day, and even now, I find the thought of instant oatmeal repulsive.
Thankfully, cooked oatmeal does not make me feel the same way. If you've never tried baked oatmeal, then this is the recipe you've been waiting for. It's one of the few ways I'll eat oatmeal.
Traditional oatmeal may be tasteless, gloppy, and bland. Oatmeal that has been baked is flavorful, sweet, and soft but chewy. I can't wait for you to try it too; it's my favorite (and almost always the only) way to eat oatmeal.

Ingredients for baked vegan oats
The ingredients for this nutritious baked oatmeal dish are listed below.
Dry Ingredients:1 1/2 cups of instant oatmeal. Old-fashioned oats will work in this recipe if you can't find quick-cooking oats, even if I don't advise using steel-cut oats. A delicate, cake-like baked oatmeal is produced with quick-cooking oats.
14 cup brown sugar, packed
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Baking powder, 1 teaspoon
14 teaspoon salt
You can substitute any nut for the 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or leave them out entirely.
Wet Ingredients
To make a flax egg, combine 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 4 tablespoons of water. This is necessary to bind the oats and include a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
Unsweetened vanilla almond milk in 1/2 cup (or any kind of milk really). If you can't locate vanilla almond milk, I suggest mixing 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence with your preferred milk instead. Oat or soy milk will work well in this recipe, however, I don't suggest coconut milk because the flavor is frequently overpowering. Cow's milk will also function.
One-third cup of pure maple syrup
melted butter, two tablespoons (I use Earth Balance)
1 substantial ripe banana
For serving, add additional almond milk and fresh fruit.
How to prepare this vegan dish for baked oats
Bananas should first be sliced, then arranged in a single row on the bottom of the baking dish. The bananas will nearly completely melt into the oatmeal as it cooks and begin to caramelize, adding both texture and delicious flavor.
Mix the water and ground flaxseed in a small bowl, and then set the mixture aside for 5 minutes, or until it begins to gel.
The oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt should all be combined in a separate, big mixing dish. Add the melted butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and the flax seed mixture. Add the chopped walnuts after stirring, and then gently spread the oatmeal mixture over the banana layers.
30 minutes in the oven, or until golden and set.
Serve these cooked oats as follows:
With extra chopped nuts, fresh berries, and ice-cold vanilla almond milk, serve the oats warm from the oven. Oh my goodness, the combination of warm, creamy oatmeal with cold, hydrating almond milk, crunchy nuts, and sweet berries is simply divine.
Drizzle almond butter or peanut butter on top of the breakfast bowl for a more opulent presentation.
Varieties
Once you've tried this dish, there are countless ways to customize it. Instead of walnuts, you may use chopped pecans or peanuts. For a sweet variation, you can also combine chopped nuts with chocolate chips.
Any fresh fruit will do as a topping; try ripe pears, fresh cherries, or diced apples that have been cooked with warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Tips for Success
The key to making vegan baked oats is right here. Two items are required: a ripe banana and a flax egg.
The bottom banana layer softens and caramelizes, adding additional naturally sweet sugar to the oatmeal and giving it a truly satisfying texture. Don't pass it by!
In place of actual eggs, the flax egg aids in binding the grains. If flax seed is unfamiliar to you, you can purchase it whole or milled. Although the milled variety is what you will need in the majority of recipes, I know that it is a hassle to grind flax seeds every time you need them. I generally prefer the seeds because anything that has already been ground will get rancid more quickly. So, store them in the refrigerator or freezer to extend their shelf life.
This recipe for overnight oats can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
I make a pot of this baked oatmeal that is vegan a few times a month, usually on a weekend. I adore how simple it is to scoop out and reheat on busy weekday mornings and how well it keeps in the refrigerator.
When I have guests, I will prepare the oatmeal the night before and bake it the next morning so that it will be hot and fresh for everyone.
