    Vegan Baked Oats

    Published: Jun 27, 2021 by Ayeh 32 Comments

    Baked Oats are still trending and the most common request I've had was for an egg-free version. So here are my Vegan Baked Oats which are so easy to make and cooked in only 2 minutes!

    It feels like you're eating a cake however it's super healthy! The best part is that it's cooked in the microwave making it a fast breakfast option, even on busy days.

    Whilst it’s typically a breakfast dish, it’s one you can have as a healthy afternoon snack or dessert which is when I've been enjoying it myself recently.

    In this recipe, I’ve added dark chocolate in the middle which melts once cooked and gives it the perfect flavour 🙂

    Ingredients to Make Vegan Baked Oats

    • Rolled Oats are the base of the dish which are blended to make oat flour. You can use quick oats or oat flour however steel-cut oats will have a much coarser texture so I wouldn’t recommend using them.
    • Ripe Banana is added for it’s sweetness and soft texture, you can also substitute with apple sauce
    • Almond milk is always my preferred milk of choice but you can also use your preferred milk
    • Maple syrup is used as a sweetener, you can also use honey or agave
    • Baking powder is used to help the oats fluff up into a cake-like texture
    • Dark chocolate, I love the taste of bitter dark chocolate so I prefer using 85% cacao however you can also use your favourite chocolate
    • Cacao nibs are small pieces of crushed cacao beans that give a nice crunch and bitter chocolatey taste. Chocolate chips can also be used
    • Pinch of salt added for some flavour

    Baked Oats are the new trending recipe all over social media and it's one I'm super excited about! I mean who wouldn't be excited about the idea of eating a “cake” like dish for breakfast and still be a balanced healthy meal??https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.470.1_en.html#goog_2123194988Volume 0% 

    You can see all of my baking recipes including my Banana Bread, Strawberry Muffins, Banana Chocolate Slice and even my Pancake recipe all use rolled oats as the “flour” component so I had to make my version of this viral TikTok concept.

    Here I’ve made Almond Banana Baked Oats which is so easy to make, delicious, and extremely healthy being full of nutrients to get your day started.

    If your after an egg-less version, I've also made Vegan Baked Oats in the microwave, so be sure to check it out.https://ec20962fc5c495985cdab32feff9c750.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.htmlJump to:

    Ingredients to Make Baked Oats

    • Rolled Oats are the base of the dish which are blended to make oat flour. You can use quick oats or oat flour however steel-cut oats will have a much coarser texture so I wouldn't recommend using them.
    • Ripe Banana is added for it's sweetness and soft texture, you can also substitute with apple sauce
    • Egg is used to bind the ingredients together along with creating an airy texture. You can also substitute with using a flax egg or increasing the milk ratio however the timing and texture will be slightly different.
    • Almond milk is always my preferred milk of choice but you can also use your preferred milk
    • Maple syrup is used as a sweetener, you can also use honey or agave
    • Vanilla extract is added for a subtle vanilla flavour
    • Baking powder is used to help the oats fluff up into a cake-like texture
    • Cinnamon is added for its beautiful smell and taste
    • Pinch of salt added for some flavour

    Flavour Alternatives

    I also love adding different flavours in the middle. These are some alternatives you can use:

    • Biscoff spread
    • Peanut butter
    • Almond butter
    • Raspberries, blueberries or strawberries

    Important Tips

    • I always find it’s best to blend oats into oat flour to start with. This achieves a much smoother batter quicker and will assist with a softer texture once cooked
    • When picking your banana, the riper the banana the better as it will provide a naturally sweeter taste
    • Don’t over blend the mixture as you want the batter to remain airy
    • Ensure you use a microwave-safe ramekin or dish
    • Make sure to grease your ramekin well before adding the mixture. I prefer brushing on melted coconut oil but you can also use oil spray
    • Make sure your ramekin isn't filled to the very top and that the mixture has room to rise. As it’s being cooked in the microwave at a fast pace, it will rise quite high to start and then deflate slightly 
    • I’ve found It’s best to break the dark chocolate square into a few pieces so that it doesn’t fall to the bottom once cooked

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup rolled oats
    • ½ banana
    • ½ cup almond milk
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • Pinch of sea salt
    • 1 square dark chocolate - 10g
    • 1 tablespoon Cacao nibs
    • Melted coconut oil or cooking oil spray

    Instructions

    • Blend the oats in a high-speed blender to create oat flour
    • Add the milk, banana, maple syrup, baking powder and salt into the blender and blend for 10-20 seconds until well combined. It should be a thick runny cake batter-like consistency
    • Grease a small ramekin by brushing melted coconut oil or cooking spray, making sure to coat the bottom and all the sides
    • Pour the batter into the ramekin and gently tap it on the kitchen benchtop to flatten the top
    • Break the dark chocolate square into 4 pieces and place them into the centre of the ramekin. With your fingers, press them down slightly into the mixture so they are submerged
    • Sprinkle the cacao nibs on the top and place in the microwave to cook for 2 minutes. (You can also bake in the oven at 180C/360F for 20 mins)
    • Remove and check if it's cooked all the way through by sticking a toothpick into the centre. It should come out mostly clean
    • Let it cool for a few minutes then garnish by adding a drizzle of maple syrup, then dig in!

      If you don't have chia seeds will it change the outcome? Should I substitute with something else or leave it out? Thanks.

      Made it without the chia seeds. Very yummy thanks! So easy. Great breakfast loved that it was oatmeal but more of a bread pudding taste and so versatile. I can swap blueberries and walnuts or keep the chocolate. Just lovely.

      I’m a fellow food lover and follow you daily. This recipe was awesome. It was delicious. Perfect breakfast. I’m trying it next with a blueberry compote and again as a chocolate base with peanut butter filling. The best part is it took like 5 minutes to put together. So filling. More like a dessert honestly!

      Made this last night and was so good. It’s a guilty breakfast or snack in the afternoon. I had a caramel koala broken bits as I did not have any Choc chip to add to chocolate and it was lying around wasn’t bad could also just break chocolate I just put it inside. Will definitely be doing this again
