Vegan Baked Oatmeal

Baked vegan oatmeal is a great, healthy, meal prep breakfast all year round. This recipe uses vegan yoghurt and no banana for some extra protein. They are also studded with a mix of frozen berries.

Baking oatmeal gives them a wonderful, almost cake like texture. It will keep for several days in the fridge, or freeze it to last for even longer. Also try this Peach baked oatmeal or this Banana bread baked oats that both can easily be made vegan.

• Vegan yoghurt, natural and unsweetened
• Almond milk, or other plant based milk of choice.
• Maple syrup, or other liquid sweetener like agave. Brown sugar or coconut sugar can also be used.
• Vanilla extract, a little vanilla ads a lot of flavor to this oatmeal bake. 
• Rolled oats, or old fashion oats. They will taste the best when baked, they hold their shape and create a great texture.
• Chia seeds, will add extra nutrients and it will also help with the texture of the baked oats since this recipe is egg free. These seeds are high in fibre, antioxidants and protein.
• Baking powder, just a little to give this baked oatmeal more of a cake like texture.
• Cinnamon, some warming cinnamon spice adds so much flavor. 
• Salt, a little salt really helps bring out all the flavours.
• Berries, use fresh or frozen. No need to defrost them if you go with frozen berries, just add them to the oatmeal before baking.

Substitutions and Variations

• Nuts – add some chopped nuts of choice for some crunch and added protein to this healthy strawberry baked oatmeal. For allergies, use sunflower or pumpkin seeds. 
• Yoghurt – Baked Oatmeal is made with no banana. But instead of using vegan yoghurt, mashed banana or apple sauce can also be used. 
• Sweetener – instead of maple syrup, other liquid sweetener like agave syrup also tastes great. Brown sugar can also be used. If the berries are tart, add more sweeter to taste, or top the baked oatmeal with a drizzle of maple syrup. 
• Protein – For added protein, mix in 1 scoop of your favourite vegan protein powder into the oatmeal. Some great flavours to use are vanilla or berry flavor. Add a little more milk if needed, and reduce the amount of maple sugar if the protein powder is very sweet. 
• Gluten-free – Although oats are naturally gluten-free, they can contain traces of gluten, so use certified gluten-free oats.
• Berries – This recipe uses a mix of frozen berries, but use whatever is your favorite. A mix or just one berry or fruit of choice. Also see this Blueberry banana baked oatmeal.

Storage

This healthy vegan baked oatmeal with berries makes 9 portions so it is perfect for meal prep! Store the baked oatmeal in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the fridge without any toppings, for up to 4 days. 

The vegan baked oats can also be frozen. A tip is to divide the pieces with some parchment paper, that way, it is easy to take out a single serving. Place the baked oatmeal in a freezer friendly ziplock bag or an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Let defrost in room temperature and serve cold, or reheat in the microwave. Serve with some vanilla yoghurt and toppings of choice.
