Great recipe! It is easy to make, very convenient for meal prep and sooo delicious, especially with some yogurt. The best part is that it can be made differently every time just by swapping fruits and nuts or adding chunks of dark chocolate. I am very grateful for this one, PUL team 🤗
I love to try this recipe seems so good and delicious and interesting
This was delicious. I’m a big oat lover, but some of my friends aren’t. I made this for them and they loved every bite.
Tried this out as my first recipe to make, and it is delicious! I used pumpkin seeds, and drizzled a little maple syrup on top. I really like how easy it is to navigate between the recipe and directions. Now on to my next creation! Thank you PUL!
Just made this, and it tastes even better with every bite
This was absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Loved the cinnamon flavor and the smell filling my apartment as it baked was to die for. Not to mention the dish looked absolutely beautiful, which I often struggle with hahah! Such a great way to incorporate berries in the winter months too, since frozen berries worked flawlessly in this. Leftovers reheated in the microwave worked great too (although it even tastes nice cold). I immediately had to share this recipe with friends and family! I also love how adaptable it is - I used almonds and a friend of mine made it the next day with hazelnuts! Thanks for the idea for baked oatmeal, I can't wait to try playing around with other ingredient combinations and spices as well!
Hello hello, would love to try this out tomorrow - if I halve the recipe (and use a smaller baking dish), would the baking time need to be adjusted?
Also, would roasted almonds work? I noticed you specifically state raw almonds in the suggestions for alternatives to pecans. I was thinking to try this with a mix of raw walnuts and roasted almonds, since that's what I currently have!
I would really like to try this! How long would you have to bake a single serve portion? Or how would you adjust the recipe for a single serve portion?
This is amazing! I was wondering if it would work with oat flour?
My alltime favorite breakfast, when there are ripe bananas on hand!
Easy to make and delicious and you can store them in the freezer for busy mornings.
Wow! This was wonderful! I felt like I was having dessert for breakfast - but without the guilt!
While I prefer to follow a recipe verbatim the first time I make it, however all I had was ancient grains & rolled oats mix plus I was shy 1/4-cup of rolled oats. All I had on hand was quinoa. So, I rinsed those and added it to the batter. The result came out nearly perfect. I say 'nearly' because I think if I were to make the same substitute again, I would soak (then drain) the quinoa for 10 minutes before adding it the mix.
Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks PUL❣️
Made this twice while visiting my mom. First time exactly like the recipe. Delicious!!! The 2nd time I switched out the blueberries with fresh peaches and sprinkled the top with mini chocolate chips. Again, delicious. I froze several packets for my mom so she could have pre made breakfasts or even desserts! She liked hers with a little "milk" poured over and some maple syrup. My husband and I liked it with a dollop of coconut yogurt and some maple syrup. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
I am a lover of breakfast and this one ticks all the boxes! I love that this recipe is freezer friendly so I can quickly reheat it in the morning for a quick and satisfying start to my day!
This was just what I needed on this dreary winter morning in Melbourne! So delicious! You guys nail it absolutely every time, thank you ☺️
The best baked oatmeal! Perfect for breakfast. Thank your for recipe ♥️
Just made this, and it's to die for!! I used quinoa flakes, brown rice flakes and 1/2 cup oats( all I had)+ raisins and coconut on top.
Definitely be one of our brekkie staples.
As a fairly recent plant based / vegan eater I'm loving your recipes😍
Thank you for your recipe! It is the best thing ever and it is a great healthy alternative for sweet cravings!
I used black forest fruits and almonds and it tastes delicious!
In loveeeee, taste like an oatmeal cookie cake 😋
This was delicious! I made it last night, and it was so good! It is best right out of the oven, but it was still really, really good reheated the next morning. I subbed cranberries for the strawberries and sliced almonds for the pecans, because that was what I had on hand. I love that this recipe was so easy to make and versatile! I will definitely make it again (and I just shared the link with two friends)!
Great ideas! Baking my oats now! Love the feature that gives you an option to change portions, very helpful. I also really appreciate the focus towards nutrition instead of calories. Love the website in general!
So comfy..I love this receipe for a perfect breakfast. Moreover the idea to have a dynamic update of the receipe based on few key options is really magic 😃😃!!! I like so much to follow your great work!! Thank you 😘
Hi!! It looks like an amazing recipe😃 can I put it in the freezer after it cools down? Thanks!
Looks and smells amazing!!! Can't wait to try it!
I am here for this recipe. I made this for a holiday breakfast with my family. This is a great recipe leaving everyone saying “ohhhhhh” and “yuuummmmmm”. Simple ingredients, great texture, deliciously and naturally sweet from the fruit. I use cashew cream instead of nut milk.
So delicious and easy to make. Absolutely loved it!
This is awesome! I hate bananas with a passion so I use applesauce and only 1 cup almond milk instead and it comes out great every time! 🤗
Excellent breakfast idea. Easy to make and healthy. Thanks a lot :)
Tried this one with some other fruits and it was amazing! Thank you for the recipe
I absolutely love this and so does my family! I’ve made it as is and I’ve also added fried apples in coconut oil with cinnamon, yummy!
Yummy! Very good! Super easy to make, and depending on the size of your family, lasts a couple days!
Could not believe how good this turned out! I find it stores pretty well as long as you add more milk when reheating it!
Absolutely loved this recipe! I used olive oil to grease the pan and added cherries, blueberries and walnuts to the mixture. It was divine! Your website is a godsend, full of so many healthy and tasty recepies! Addicted!!
I love this recipe, i use it over and over again! Obsessed!
i put these in a muffin tray and enjoyed all week 🤎 so so yummy; highly recommend
Can u suggest a way to make this without oven, it would be really helpful.
Thank you.
Really great treat to enjoy with the family on Sundays
This looks fantastic! I just tried making a super basic baked oatmeal this week (trying to switch up my breakfast options) and loved it, so I'm going to do this next.
This recipe is so versatile! Great to use with apples or pears as well.
I made this at the beginning of the week and it came out really lovely. It's nice to have an easy to prepare breakfast for a more breezy morning :) My favorite topping combo so far is sunflower seed butter + yogurt + maple syrup. Looking forward to trying out the other breakfast bar recipe soon!
Hi Sadia,
Can we do all the preparations of oatmeal mixture at night and bake it next morning? Will it be good?
Jus wanted to try it but short on time to make all the preparations in the morning hence asked u To advise.
This is among the most clever and tasty make-ahead cereal breakfasts! It lasted me about a week in the fringe! I'd vote for more similar recipes because it's so convenient!
This is my favourite breakfast recipe. I could literally eat the whole tray I made!
PS. I make this baked oatmeal at least once a week :))
You are amazing
I tried this recipe a long time ago, and I wasn’t convinced. It was dry, stuck in my baking tray, and there were big wet holes from the frozen berries.
However, one shouldn’t be discouraged by failures so I tried baked oatmeal once again. I’m happy that I really enjoyed it this time🥲. I had to optimise the size of my baking tray, oven temperature (my oven appears to “overheat”), and choice of fruit/berries. As you’ve said in the video, the options are actually endless. During my second attempt, I used orangeblossom water instead of vanilla extract and swapped berries to canned apricots. I served my moist (👏🏼) oatmeal with coconut yoghurt in addition to roasted coconut, almond butter, or vegan nutella. All combinations were amazing😋 I can’t wait to try a more autumn-inspired version with diced plums or grated apples and gingerbread spices.
I’ll also try to use berries again, but I think that fresh berries in season are better than frozen ones (reduce excess water whilst baking)
This is my first time trying it and totally loved it. My daughters finished theirs and asked for more! 💜💜 will totally keep making this recipe and use it as a meal prep!
I love this recipe! This is one of my go to breakfasts I meal prep. I’ve made it with lots of different fruits and nuts and they all turn out great. I’ve seriously made this stuff at least 20 times. It’s a super easy recipe and it’s easy to make little changes to keep things fresh. My favorite variation I’ve done is swapping out the cinnamon for cardamom, almonds instead of pecans, and then mangos for the strawberries and blueberries.
Very easy to make and delicious! I only had one banana so I replaced the second with apple sauce! It's not too sweet and it's perfect with almond butter on top!
This turned out awesome! It was perfectly creamy, crunchy, not overly sweet, and overall very satisfying. Will be making again!
It was very easy to make and tasteful! Thank you very much for sharing the recipes with us!
I didn't have flaxseeds so I used chia seeds but it worked fine at last!
Bon appetit!
