    This easy vegan baked oatmeal is a delicious breakfast with warm spices and apples. It's made with simple ingredients and full of flavor. Perfect for the next time you're wondering what to make for breakfast. 

    Delicious Vegan Baked Oatmeal

    These baked oats are great when you want something easy but impressive. You can eat this as is or put some fantastic toppings on it.

    This can be used as a meal prep breakfast. Bake it up, cut it into individual portions like oatmeal squares, and store it in an airtight container for a quick breakfast for the whole family.

    I love finding new ways to eat oatmeal. It's such a powerhouse food and tastes so delicious in so many things.

    I love all the new oat-related products coming out. My kids get tired of a bowl of oatmeal, so sometimes I like to switch it up and make these baked oats.

    It's an easy recipe to throw together, and they love it.

    This recipe is very versatile. If you want to add or take out mix-ins, feel free to do it. This would taste great in a chocolate peanut butter version or banana peanut butter.

    The possibilities are endless.

    Easy Vegan Baked Oatmeal Recipe Q&A

    easy vegan baked oatmeal

    Can I cut the sugar down or make it refined sugar-free?

    Yes, if this is too sweet or if you want more of a healthy baked oatmeal, you can use one ripe banana (mashed banana) and a couple of tablespoons of pure maple syrup. If it isn't sweet enough after baking, add some more maple syrup to the top.

    Can I use quick oats?

    I have only made this recipe using old fashion oats or rolled oats, and I would only use those because I think the instant oats are too soft for this recipe.

    What's the best dairy-free milk to use?

    I prefer a thicker non-dairy milk for this recipe, but you can use any of them like; oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or whichever you have on hand.

    Can I use this as a make-ahead breakfast?

    I would place everything in the 8x8 pan but the non-dairy milk. I would do that the morning of when you bake the recipe.

    Otherwise, you will end up with a giant thing of overnight oats instead of baked oatmeal.

    This makes for a very easy breakfast whether you make it ahead or do it the morning of.

    Can I use coconut oil instead of vegan butter?

    Yes, if you prefer, you can use melted coconut oil instead. I like the vegan butter flavor better, but both will work.
