Ingredients Needed

Vegan baked oats ingredients on a counter top in bowls.

Banana. This is what will keep things sticking together and adds some sweetness.

Oats. This will essentially be the “flour” to the recipe. I use old fashioned.

Nut Milk. Any nut milk will work. I prefer unsweetened Silk Almond Milk.

Maple Syrup.

Vanilla.

Baking Powder. This is what helps the recipe to rise. Be sure it isn’t expired and is somewhat fresh.

Cinnamon & Nutmeg. For carrot cake flavors.

Carrots. Any will work, it will be going in the blender but I prefer grated carrots.

Optional Toppings. Maple syrup, raisins, walnuts, icing

Steps To Make

Steps to make vegan baked oats.

Step one. Get your high speed blender or food processor out and set the oven to 350º. Peel the banana and put everything measured into the blender.

*If you are only making one serving, cut the banana and milk in 1/2.

Step two. The mixture should be smooth and a little thicker than pancake batter. I prefer mine a little chunky, but you can blend until it’s completely smooth. This will give you a cake consistency. If making icing, mix that together (1/2 cup powdered sugar & 1/2 tsp almond milk)

two ingredient icing. Optional topping for vegan baked oats.

Step three. If serving two, fill two oven safe mugs or ramekins about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 11 minutes in the center of the oven. Add toppings and serve.
