Baked Oats Recipe

I guess we should thank TikTok for this popular baked oats recipe! I never would have thought to blend oats and turn it into a type of oatmeal breakfast cake ’til now. These bake nicely in ramekins (which is what I use) or a muffin pan for individual servings, but you can bake it in a larger batch in a casserole dish if you want to serve to the whole fam!

Main Ingredients & Substitutions For Baked Oats

  • Rolled Oats – This is the main ingredient needed for this recipe, but you can use quick oats or oat flour instead. 

  • Mashed Banana – This adds flavor, sweetness and moisture to the recipe. 

  • Egg – Or you can make it vegan by using a flax egg!

  • Honey or Maple Syrup – Adds an extra touch of sweetness to the baked oats.

  • Baking Powder – This helps the baked oats rise while baking.

  • Pinch of Salt

Optional Add Ins

  • Chocolate Chips

  • Cocoa Powder

  • Peanut Butter

  • Protein Powder

    OTHER HEALTHY & Quick RECIPES

    This vegan peanut brittle recipe is a simple ingredient mix of sugar, maple syrup, water, peanuts and baking soda. The result? A deliciously crunchy, sweet, slightly salty, homemade peanut butter flavored candy that is a perfect for an afternoon snack or an after-dinner treat.

    In case you’ve never had peanut brittle before, it’s a smooth, flat candy (similar to toffee), with peanuts in it, that is cooked on the stovetop and poured onto a sheet pan to cool. It’s definitely a family favorite during the holidays, but it can be enjoyed any time of year! The thing to keep in mind about making candy is that you need a good thermometer and to have all your ingredients ready ahead of time. 

    WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE VEGAN PEANUT BRITTLE

    • Roasted Peanuts & Peanut Butter – Not a peanut fan? You can substitute an equal amount of pecans or almonds for the peanuts.

    • Maple Syrup – Maple syrup is one of my favorite refined sugar-free sweeteners. It also contains a ton of antioxidant and a good dose of minerals. If you don’t have that, you can use agave nectar instead.

    • Baking Soda – This is a key ingredient! Without baking soda, the brittle will be hard and chewy.

    • Coconut Sugar – Coconut sugar is lower on the glycemic index than the usual white sugar. It also contains many more vitamins and minerals than most other sugars. If you don’t have coconut sugar, you can either use brown sugar, cane sugar, or white sugar instead.

    Tips When Making Vegan Peanut Brittle

    • Baking soda causes the brittle to bubble up. Those little bubbles are the key to a lighter, crispy consistency, so you don’t want to touch the mixture when you spread it.

    • Be patient when waiting for the mixture to come to temperature. It may seem like it’ll never make it to 290°F, but trust me, it will!

    • I recommend checking the temperature of the brittle mixture about every 5 minutes. I like to use this time to wash dishes/cleanup my kitchen, as to not be too far from the stove. Once the thermometer reads 280° Fahrenheit, then stay very close by until the brittle finally reaches its required temperature.

      not stir beyond that.

      290° Fahrenheit, this will take about 30 minutes.

      until hard. Once hard, break apart into pieces and enjoy.

    OTHER VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE DESSERTS

    There’s no better way to start your day than with this delicious green smoothie! It’s quick and easy to make (there’s only one step!) and it’s a great way to sneak more veggies in for the day. It’s my favorite breakfast go-to, especially when I have a busy morning ahead of me.

    I’m super excited to share my favorite green smoothie recipe with you! Ever since I started drinking this green goodness, I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy levels. Coffee might give you a caffeine boost, but do you notice you tend to “crash” after a few hours? Yeah, me too. That’s why I opt for healthy shakes most mornings. But you can make this smoothie any time of the day! Great to bring with you to the office for lunch or as a before-dinner snack. If you aren’t a fan of bananas or mangos, you can switch it out for other fruits like pineapples too! It’s completely customizable, and I’ll lay out your options below. Hope you enjoy!

    What You Need To Make This Healthy Green Smoothie

    Frozen Banana – Frozen bananas are a big ingredient in this shake. They offer the perfect amount of sweetness and incredible texture. You can also substitute this for an extra cup of frozen mangos!

    Frozen Mango – Mangos are delightfully sweet and blends perfectly with the bananas in this recipe.

    Spinach – Both fresh and frozen spinach will work! Whichever is easier for you to get your hands on, toss it in your green smoothie shake for those extra vitamins and minerals.

    Avocado – It’s a great way to add in some healthy fats!

    Customize This Green Smoothie Recipe

    • Go banana-less: Substitute an additional cup of frozen mango or one cup of frozen pineapple.

    • Add protein: Use either one scoop of your favorite unflavored or vanilla protein powder, or throw in a few tablespoons of hemp seeds (they’re impressively high in protein!)

    • Substitute Spinach: I get it – not everyone loves this leafy green! If you prefer, you could use chard or kale in its place.

    • Other Healthy Smoothie Add-ins: Consider adding in flax seeds, chia seeds, maca powder, or oats for a different take on my favorite green smoothie!
