    You all know how I dislike mushy oatmeal. I’ve started making baked oatmeal instead, as the texture is much more pleasing, the flavors much more vibrant and it can be served warm or cold!

    This Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal is almost a healthy banana bread with all the good stuff. Serve it with whipped coconut cream or vegan butter and some maple. Use very ripe bananas for the best result. This lightly sweet Banana oatmeal is perfect to make on any day. It takes 10 mins to put together and just 7 ingredients, and has no added Oil! You can add in dried fruit, seeds and nuts of choice. You can also make it ahead, mix and keep overnight and bake in the morning for a Warm Banana bread-y spiced delicious oatmeal!

    Ingredients for Vegan Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal

    • Very Ripe Bananas, maple syrup and non dairy milk make up the wet ingredients.
    • Use other sweeteners to substitute maple syrup.
    • Old fashioned oats, gluten-free if needed are the oats of choice. You can also use other grain flakes such as quinoa or rice.
    • Cinnamon and coconut add flavor. Since there is no oil in this oatmeal, coconut adds a bit of fat and texture. Use other spices or blends, and omit coconut if you like.
    • Nuts such as pecans or walnuts add the texture and make it banana bread like.
    • For nut-free, omit the nuts and use coconut milk or oat milk for non dairy milk
    • optional add ins: chocolate chips, dried fruit, dates etc.

    • You can also use other grain flakes such as quinoa or rice instead of oats. Or use 2/3 cup uncooked quinoa or cracked wheat.
    • For nut-free, omit the nuts and use coconut milk or oat milk for non dairy milk
    ** If omitting most or all of maple syrup, add 1 to 3 tbsp more non dairy milk so the oats have enough moisture to absorb.

      I’ve made this recipe several times in the past few weeks, including for tomorrow’s family brunch. It’s so easy, and so hearty and delicious. This time I included the last bit of some homemade peach jam and just used a little less maple syrup. Seems like it is pretty friendly to adaptation! I am so grateful for your recipes, and I use them often. Thank you!

      Thank you for this recipe! May I omit the shredded coconut? If so, do I need to substitute something extra?

      You suggested using quinoa or cracked wheat “2/3 cup”. Do you mean to substitute that amount for the 1 3/4 cup oats?

        2/3 cup is uncooked measure. You cook it and you’ll get about 1.5 cups cooked grains which you can use.

          If you use cooked grains, do you still add the same 1 cup of milk?
