    Craving something savory for breakfast but you’re a creature of habits and don’t want to say no to oats? Savory Baked Pizza oatmeal is your solution! That’s right baked oatmeal holds so much more potential beyond just being a blank canvas for fruit or maple syrup.

    Hear me out. This pizza oatmeal is like a savory quiche or breakfast bake but with oats. It’s packed with all our favorite pizza flavors and comes with a cheesy vegan Parmesan or mozzarella topping. An easy crowd-pleasing breakfast bake that is easy to make and tastes delicious. The oatmeal base uses chia egg to hold all ingredients together.

    Honestly, this baked oatmeal has been my to-go meal for weeks now because I have been craving savory for breakfast, so I came up with this “genius” idea: combining two of my favorite foods into a single recipe: Vegan Pizza Savory Baked oatmeal!

    Endlessly adaptable!

    This is an easy no-fuss recipe that you can play around with as you’d like. Feel free to make it spicy by adding some crushed red pepper. I call for garlic powder, fresh basil, and dried thyme here to keep it classically “pizza,” but any other dried Italian herb mix will do. This one really gives you the same satisfaction as a naughty slice of pizza for breakfast but other than pizza, it is so filling! No sugar in this baked oatmeal, should you want to cut down on that after the holidays. I know it sounds odd but you’ve gotta try this recipe.

    And feel free to mix things up by adding whatever spices you have. I’m thinking cajun spice or your leftover stuffing spice might be delicious as well. You do you !

    If you liked this recipe, I have good news for you: I have more savory baked oatmeal recipes coming up! Woot!

    • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil optional

    To top:

    • sliced tomato for topping

    • Top the oats with some vegan parmesan or vegan mozzarella then add a layer of tomatoes.
    • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 c) for 30-35 minutes. Check the center if it's not too soft and sticky, that means it's done.
    • Take the dish out from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes and garnish with some green onion or fresh basil, then slice.
    • Let it sit for another 5 -10 minutes to cool so that it's easy to take it out of the pan. Even if the slices are not very well-formed, it's still going to be super tasty.

    • add in 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds for a sausage like flavor 
    • Change the baking time accordingly depending on the volume of the added vegetables. It might take another 5-10 minutes for the oats to bake.

        I do not recommend freezing as the oatmeal will become mushy after thawing.

      This is the BEST!! Add really good quality olive oil, steel cut quick cooking oats, mushrooms and baby tomatoes and peppers. Used real cheese topping as I was out of vegan. Also used the best marinara I could find – raos marinara. Mind blowing!!! My son and husband loved it too.

      I was sceptical about this recipe at first glance. Oatmeal and pizza seemed like a weird combo. I’m a savoury breakfast lover and I had some leftover vegan pepperoni and vegan mozzarella in the fridge so I thought I would give it a try. I’m so happy I did!!! It’s so delicious. It was even better the next day. This is a keeper.

      YUUUUMMMM! We had this for breakfast this morning! Delicious! This will definitely go into our morning rotation. Looking forward to trying your other variations. Maybe I’ll try an Asian version with celery, water chestnuts, 5 spice powder. Pure genius, Richa! Thank you!

      I absolutely love this idea! Savory breakfast is my go-to, and while I am not vegan I have been whittling away at my diet, making it more plant based all the time. I may never go completely vegan, but sites like yours are helping me improve the quality of my diet. This will definitely go into rotation as an alternative to my soyrizo & veggie frittatas! Thank you!

      I have both your recipe books and have made at least nine recipes mostly from the Indian Kitchen. I love the different flavors/spices in all of the indian recipes. And my all time favorite recipe is, Butternut Coconut Red Lentil Curry. I made Spinach-Artihoke Lasagne with Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce from her other cookbook. It was very delicious! I highly recommend both her cookbooks.
      When I saw the Savory Pizza Oatmeal Bake recipe, I knew immediately that I wanted to make it! I made this recipe in the last week and was so happy that it turned out perfect. By accident I used instant oats. This will be a recipe keeper. I look forward to making it again soon. Thank you Richa!

      I wasn’t sure about the idea of pizza oatmeal at first, but since every VeganRicha recipe I’ve tried has been outstanding, I gave it a try. So glad I did. I subbed fennel seed for the thyme and garnished with a little Rao’s marinara. It’s such a great way to use up veggies for a delicious, warm, and filling meal!

      Yes, more savory for breakfast. Oatmeal pizza looks great even if the title is sort of revolting. Glad I looked at the recipe.

        Haha . Don’t think of them as oats but just a pizza breakfast bake, like a sundries tomato quiche that also can taste a bit like pizza
