  • 2 cups rolled oats gluten-free (240g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3g
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt 4g

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup 146g
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted and slightly cooled (38g)
  • 1 egg ~50g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, measure out the oats, cinnamon and salt. Stir until combined. Set aside.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, measure out the creamer, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil and the egg. Whisk together until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until incorporated.
  5. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a food processor, make the streusel topping: Grind up the oats to make the oat flour, then add the brown sugar and salt, pulsing until combined. Add the coconut oil and the chopped pecans at the same time, pulsing until the ingredients are all wet.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping onto the oatmeal mixture.
  8. Transfer to the oven, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the streusel has browned.
  9. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • 1/17/25 recipe note: This recipe was originally made with a dairy free almond milk and hazelnut creamer that is no longer available. The recipe has been updated to include a plain non-dairy creamer. (I used a combination of an oatmilk creamer and a pecan milk creamer for my testing and photos.) You may use a plain creamer or a flavored one, though please note that flavored creamers are typically sweetened, so that will change the overall sweetness of your baked oats. 
  • You can bake this in advance and store in the fridge once cooled. Wrap with plastic wrap. When ready to eat, warm the entire baking dish in the oven to 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • How to store: Let the oatmeal cool completely, then slice and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • How to reheat: Slice into individual portions and reheat in the microwave. Heat in 30-second bursts until warmed through.
  • Slice into individual portions and reheat in the microwave. Heat in 30-second bursts until warmed through.
  • If you don't have dairy sensitivities, you can use a regular creamer and your favorite milk. Use the same amount that the recipe calls for.
  • Make this recipe Vegan Baked Oatmeal by replacing the egg with a flax egg or a vegan egg substitute.
  • Swap out the nuts. If you don't like pecans, use another chopped nut in the streusel topping.
