Vegan Berry Baked Oatmeal Ingredients:

  • Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for good texture. If you’re gluten-free then go with the certified gluten-free oats!
  • Fruit/Sweetener: I’m using frozen mixed berries and orange juice + zest for this recipe. Alternatively, use fresh berries if you have them. Also, I use coconut sugar in this recipe. However, feel free to use your favorite sweetener. 
  • Nuts: Sliced almonds help to add some texture and crunch to the oatmeal base. 
  • Liquid Ingredients: A combination of flax egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted vegan butter or oil, and non-dairy milk binds the oatmeal together. Also, the orange juice adds flavor.
  • Baking Essentials: A little baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to complete the process.

How to make baked oatmeal:

Firstly, preheat the oven to 350°F and spray or grease an 8×8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Make the flax egg. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Secondly, mix the dry ingredients. combine the rolled oats, 1/4 cup of almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt in a large bowl.

Thirdly, mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter and whisk to combine. Stir in the flaxseed mixture and blend until smooth.

Ingredient substitutions for baked oatmeal bars

Baked oatmeal is highly customizable. Below, you’ll find a few ingredient substitutions:

  • Nuts/seeds: cashews, walnuts, pecans, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds. 
  • Sweeteners: honey, date syrup, dates, monk fruit, or apple sauce.
  • Fruit: peaches, bananas, cherries, or apples.
  • Spices: ginger, cardamon, nutmeg, turmeric, or cloves. 

How to store, freeze & reheat

  • To store: Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • To freeze: Yes, you can freeze baked oatmeal. Next, be sure to slice the oatmeal into portions before storing them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. 
  • For reheating: Thaw each frozen portion in the fridge overnight. After that, bake uncovered with parchment paper in a 350°F(180°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Or, reheat it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
