How to Make Oat Bake

Oat Bake

Most mornings my breakfast is some form of rolled oats, and fruit. Oatmeal is a staple along with my oil-free granola, but I wanted to do a re-mix on oatmeal. This lead me to figuring out how to make oat bake. This is a simple and delicious breakfast that can cook while you’re either doing a work-out or whatever else is happening first thing in the morning in your house!

It’s naturally gluten-free, oil-free, and completely whole food plant-based. You can add protein powder like I have below to give it an extra boost for a post-workout meal or you can leave it out. I find it adds that edge to it that keeps me satisfied and full all morning long.

Just like with oatmeal you can customize this to your heart’s content. You can use fresh or frozen foods here, and add whatever nuts and seeds you’ve got on hand. I’ll publish some more specific variations on the site at some point, but in the meantime make it your own! 

This is ideal for an air-fryer, but if you don’t have one then an oven will work just fine. I’m not going to lie - I’m slightly addicted to these things and I find that I have them at least once a week, especially during the colder months.

So now that you know how to make oat bake there’s no reason not to smash it into your face today! Loved by adults and kids alike!

Looking for a remix on oatmeal? Learn how to make oat bake right here. It’s delicious and comforting, packed with protein and loved by kids.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tbsp Flax Seed Meal
  • 30 g Plant-Based Protein Powder (one scoop)
  • 1 Banana (ripe)
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fruit
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Nuts
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (optional)
  • 1-3 Servings of Fruit (Fresh or Frozen)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F or an air-fryer to 325 F.

  2. Ideally you’d do this first step in a small hand blender like a magic bullet, but a blender will work just as well. Add the first six ingredients (oats to cinnamon) in your blender and mix together until nicely mixed and smooth.

  3. Now take a single-serving baking dish, like a ramekin, and mix together your fruit. Now pour in your oat mixture and gentle mix it together. Mix in your nuts and dried fruit as well. Save a few to sprinkle on top to make it look nice and pretty.

  4. Bake it for 25 minutes in the oven or 20 in the air-fryer.

  5. Let it cool for a few minutes and then grab a spoon, dig into the middle and smash this into your face.
