Baked Oatmeal Recipe

You can make these baked oats and have an easy and delicious breakfast for several people at once or reheat single servings of this throughout the week for a quick breakfast. My recipe calls for gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients but I share below lots of alternative ingredients so you can make it exactly how you want it. Try my blueberry baked oatmeal or apple oatmeal bars for more baked oats recipes.

Ingredients & Alternatives

Rolled Oats: To make this recipe gluten-free you need to use certified gluten-free oats. If you don’t need it to be gluten-free you can use any brand. My favorite gluten-free brand is One Degree Sprouted Oats and if you live near a Costco I’ve seen them there at a very low price.
Milk: Use any nut milk like almond or cashew. You can also use oat milk or coconut milk. Regular dairy milk can be used if you don’t need this to be dairy-free.
Sweetener: You have a lot of options when it comes to a sweetener: granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey.
Buttery spread: For dairy-free options, you can use Smart Balance, coconut oil, butter-flavored coconut oil, ghee. Use regular dairy butter if dairy isn’t a problem.
Eggs: If you want to make this egg-free you can use 2 flax egg, a half of a cup of applesauce, or a mashed banana.
Baking Powder: The baking powder helps the oatmeal to fluff up and not bake flat.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla always adds a delicious flavor.
Salt: I like to use mineral salt like Real Salt or Himalayan Salt.

How To Make Healthy Baked Oatmeal:

Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease a 9″ x 13″ or 9″ baking dish with cooking spray. 

In a large bowl add the melted buttery spread and all of the rest of the ingredients and stir together until combined. Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. 

Bake the 9″ x 13″ baking dish for 30 minutes or if using a 9″ bake for 45 minutes. 

Serve warm.

Optional Toppings:

This baked oatmeal is yummy as is but if you want to put any toppings on it here are a few delicious options:

• Cut up fruit like strawberries or bananas
• Blueberries or raspberries
• A drizzle of maple syrup or honey
• Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar or brown sugar

How to Store Baked Oatmeal:

Store baked oatmeal covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Can also be frozen. Freeze in single-serving sizes so you can pull out a serving when you need it. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave.
