    This Vegan Baked Oatmeal is flavored with sweet vanilla, almond butter, and almond milk!

    two small bowls of baked oatmeal.

    It’s healthy, easy breakfast season!

    These fall months leading into the holidays are traditionally the most indulgent. Not to mention we’re putting on cozy sweaters and fleece lined leggings, or maybe an extra five pounds just to stay warm.

    It’s definitely time to start the day off warm and healthy before eating too many cookies!

    I’ve never been a huge oatmeal fan, but baked oatmeal? That’s a different story.

    I like to think of this as one big oatmeal cookie that’s healthy enough to eat for breakfast. The almond butter keeps it rich and full of protein while the oatmeal itself cooks up into the most comforting texture.

    I’m really not stretching when I say these taste like cookies. I like my baked oatmeal a little on the dry side so I can add lots of cold almond milk without it getting too wet. This is also a great tip for cooling it down quick for impatient kids who want that sweet smelling baked oatmeal hot out of the oven!

    Just five minutes of prep go into this baked oatmeal, then it’s left baking while you get dressed, gather lost homework, or maybe go back to bed for a few minutes. Remember when we used to be able to do that?

    This Vanilla Almond Vegan Baked Oatmeal is perfect as-is, but here are a few ways you might be able to customize it!

    • Swap the almond butter and milk for cashew butter and milk, or your other favorite nut butter
    • If you’re not vegan you can use regular milk if that’s all you have on hand
    • Top the baked oatmeal with your favorite fruit such as blueberries, raspberries, or pomegranate seeds
    • Chop an apple and mix it in before baking
    • You can use a larger dish (up to 2 ½ quarts) and reduce the baking time by five minutes

      Thanks for the recipe! I’m always struggling with the milk-to-oats ratio for my baked oatmeal, but this worked perfectly! I put a layer of sliced bananas on the bottom of the baking dish and sprinkled shredded coconut on top and it turned out wonderful.

      This was so delicious. I’m picky with oatmeal, as well, and I loved this! It was almost custard- like, which was lovely! I subbed almond extract for the vanilla because I love the flavor and it was so good. It was also so easy to prepare; within 10 minutes of viewing the recipe and deciding I wanted to make it, it was in the oven!

      Thank you for a really good and easy breakfast option!

      I had some baked oatmeal at local coffee shop recently and LOVED it. I have been searching Pinterest for a recipe that I thought would be similar. To my dismay so many of them include eggs, which I can’t have. So I was thrilled to find this recipe and tried it this morning. It is EXACTLY like the one I tried at the coffee shop. You made my day!! Thank you!!
