    Serving suggestions

    While this vegan baked oatmeal is delicious all on its own, we like to add toppings to make it extra special! Here's some of our favorites:

    • Blueberries
    • Strawberries
    • Yogurt
    • Maple syrup

    Tips and tricks

    Making the best baked oatmeal is easy, but here's a few more suggestions to help you out:

    • The fruit can be substituted for your favorites, just make sure to keep the amount close to the same.
    • Any dairy free milk will work, but I prefer to use cashew milk.
    • Rolled oats, or old fashioned oats are ideal for this recipe.
    • Pay attention to the consistency of your almond butter. If it is dry, you will get a dry end result. Add a touch of oil to get it creamy again.
    • I use a square baking dish (8 or 9 inch), if you use a different size, baking time will vary and the end result could be different.
    • This baked oatmeal is best served fresh, but can be warmed again in the microwave the next day.
    • If you happen to have any leftovers (we rarely do!), make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
    • Leftovers could dry out a little. If it gets too dry, reheat with a splash of milk.

    Common Questions

    Can baked oatmeal be left out overnight?

    This particular recipe for baked oatmeal can be left out overnight because it doesn't have any dairy. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container as it will dry out. If it dries out too much, reheat with a little bit of milk

    Can you make oatmeal with almond milk instead of water?

    Yes you can! Essentially you can make oatmeal with any liquid. Almond milk is a great dairy free way to make your oatmeal extra creamy.

    How do you reheat baked oatmeal?

    Microwaving the baked oatmeal portions for about a minute is the most convenient way to reheat, but you can also use an oven or toaster oven.

    You do not need to refrigerate this baked oatmeal as it does not contain any dairy. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container to help prevent it from drying out too much.

      This looks fabulous. My husband's favourite breakfast is a blend of oatmeal, flax, chia, hemp, peanut butter and whatever else looks healthy he throws in. He would love this!

        Thank you Chay! Sounds like our hubbies eat the same breakfast 🙂 Yours would love this. It's a nice small change to his daily oatmeal and not too hard to prepare! You can always use whatever fruit you have on hand too!
