Instructions How to Make Vegan Baked Oatmeal with Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana

1. Make your flax egg by stirring together 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2.5 tbsp water. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. In a large bowl mash bananas (3 ripe) with a fork. Add the flax egg, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/3 cup cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth (it’s ok to have small chunks of banana).
4. Add 2 cups of non-dairy milk or plant-based milk you like and whisk again until mixture is smooth. Then stir in 3 cups of rolled or steel-cut oats.
5. Lightly grease a baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes (45 minutes for steel-cut oats).
6. Serve the oatmeal hot, and top it off with things like non-dairy milk, maple syrup and your favorite nuts and berries!

More Variations for your Vegan Baked Oats Recipe

• Use any nuts you like, like almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts or cashews for more fiber and protein.
• Mashed banana is our preference for these baked oats, but you could sub with applesauce or pumpkin puree if you want to make these seasonal-based.
• We always have peanut butter on hand, but you can use almond butter, cashew butter or Biscoff spread for a yummy option!
• We used dried fruits, but you can use any berries, like blueberry, cherry, strawberry or raspberry or maybe apples or peaches as well for a delicious fruity flavor vibe!
• Add some texture with coconut, ground flax seed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds!
• Use rolled oats or steel cut oats and as we mentioned, you could use gluten-free oats.  As far as quick oats, I wouldn’t recommend.
