    Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

    Jan 25, 2023 by Kaitlin

    This vegan Strawberry Baked Oatmeal recipe is naturally sweetened with flavors of maple syrup, vanilla, and tender almonds. It's a healthy, wholesome breakfast that's quick and easy to assemble! (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, nut-free option.)

    This sweet + flavorful Strawberry Baked Oatmeal recipe is easy and so delicious!

    It almost has a "dessert-like" quality to it thanks to the vanilla + almond extracts. (Paired with naturally sweet strawberries and maple syrup.)

    Then we add tender sliced almonds for texture and crunch!

    Plus it's made with healthy, whole food plant-based ingredients. (And also gluten-free, oil-free, egg-free, dairy-free, and butter-free.)

    Ingredients for Strawberry Oatmeal

    For this recipe you'll combine in a large bowl then bake in the oven:

    • Fresh strawberries: You will need about 8 ounces (a half pound) of strawberries for this recipe. Be sure your strawberries are ripe and flavorful because that can make all the difference!
    • Old-fashioned rolled oats: Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. I haven't tested steel cut oats, so I'm not sure if those would work.
    • Plant milk: Use your own favorite dairy-free milk or whatever you have on hand. I like to use homemade cashew milk, but almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk work great too. If you are using sweetened milk, feel free to slightly reduce the amount of maple syrup if desired.
    • Pure maple syrup
    • Chia seeds: I prefer chia in this recipe, but you could also substitute ground flax seed if desired.
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Pure almond extract
    • Baking powder
    • Sliced almonds: These add a delightful, slightly buttery, tender crunch to the mixture. I love the added texture.

    Nut-free? Leave out the sliced almonds, almond extract, and be sure to use a plant milk that isn't nut-based.

    Serving

    Enjoy this oatmeal as it is, or garnish your bowl with your favorite toppings before serving! A few ideas include:

    • Sliced bananas
    • Fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
    • Dollop of almond butter (for added protein)
    • Dash of ground cinnamon
    • Drizzle of pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)
    • Coconut whipped cream
    • Vegan chocolate chips
    • Pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds

    Storing

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. I find they keep for about 3-4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave when ready to enjoy (if you prefer them warm).

    • 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
    • 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
