Vegan banana berry baked oatmeal is thick, sweet, and full of the best summer berries! Super satisfying, but totally healthy, gluten free, and fruit sweetened.
I’m so in love with my oatmeal bowls that I so often overlook baking oats. Plus, now that it’s summer, who wants to turn on the oven?! But trust me, it’s worth it for vegan banana berry baked oatmeal. Baking oats just takes them to a whole other level of dense, thick, and satisfying, and with all the fruit going on here, this recipe is pretty irresistible.
So, preheat that oven! You’ll thank me later.
Ingredients for vegan banana berry baked oatmeal
- Rolled oats: I always use old fashioned rolled oats for the best chewy texture and lots of healthy whole grains.
- Ground flaxseed: you’ll make flax eggs which will help to thicken and hold the baked oatmeal together.
- Banana: the bananas are the only sweetener in this baked oatmeal, so make sure they’re super ripe and spotty for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- Nondairy milk: a bit of milk brings the mixture together. I use unsweetened almond milk for neutral flavor, but any nondairy milk should work.
- Berries: fresh or frozen works, go with whatever berries you like best!
Tips for making vegan banana berry baked oatmeal
- Make sure to use a nonstick or parchment-lined pan. Use a nonstick or parchment-lined square pan so that the oats don’t stick after baking.
- Let the oats cool before cutting. Make sure to let the oats cool for 30 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Grab it and go, or make it fancy with whatever toppings you like. These are a great on the go breakfast, or you can make it a little more special with a drizzle of nut butter or some vegan yogurt.
The best part of this vegan banana berry baked oatmeal? All the chewy, dense oats combined with the sweet banana and juicy berries, of course! But another reason I love this recipe so much is that it’s super versatile. I actually really like eating a big piece cold, topped with a bit more oat milk and some more fresh berries. It’s also a perfect grab and go snack or breakfast for the more busy summer days! Hope you guys love this one as much as we did – I couldn’t stop straightening the rows in the pan, if ya know what I mean.
